... now eagerly awaiting a Mac vs PC parody of this event.

Anyone got good suggestions?

Mac: Hi, I'm a Mac.

PC: (Standing behind windows firewall pictured here: http://obligement.free.fr/images/windows_firewall.jpg) Welcome, commercial viewer #3113452. Please enter your password.

Mac: PC, what's going on? We're just doing a commercial.

PC: You can't be too safe these days, with viruses and hackers all around the internet.

Mac: Well, yes, actually. You CAN be too safe.

PC: What do you mean?

Mac: Well, with our new MobileMe (.mac) service, you don't need passwords. It's all part of our new "Mac Experience" program.

PC: Really? That doesn't sound very secure.

Mac: Actually, it's very secure. You see, in order to log in to your MobileMe service, all you need to do is contact customer service. By giving out passwords through customer service, we add an extra level of security through a human interface. That makes it nearly impossible to make a mistake.

PC: Sounds good. (As he steps around the "firewall") I thought this whole password-security thing sounded silly.

On screen: MobileMe, you could be anyone.

Mac hackers have an easy to use interface to gain passwords.

PC hackers don't need passwords.
