MacBook handles, spoof ads
In brief: QuickerTek has unveiled new carry handles ($50) for Apple's MacBook portables, offering a sturdy means of transporting an Apple notebook on-the-go.... Sermonspice.com has posted several spoof ads depicting Jesus vs. Santa set to a simple melody designed to mimic Apple's 'Get a Mac' TV commercials.... O'Reilly Media has released four new books in the 'Missing Manual' series to help users of every skill level with Microsoft Word, Excel, Access, and PowerPoint 2007.... One MacNN reader is taking a poll to see how many Mac OS X Server users would prefer some competition to Apple's upcoming Spotlight server, referencing OmniFind -- a joint effort by IBM and Yahoo to offer a local search engine for small to medium-sized companies.... Sling Media has released an updated client (build .128) that improves the user interface while fixing numerous bugs.... Nova media has introduced support for the latest PC datacard AC 875 by Sierra Wireless in launch2net 1.5.1.

I wonder where that idea came from? Lame.
Santa doesn't exist anyway so I guess Jesus wins by default.

Pismo, you made a funny typo there. Obviously you meant to say that Jesus doesn't exist so Santa wins by default.

$75 for some S***** spoof ads? Oh those Christian freaks, they got a cruel sense of humor.
Besides, "Jesus vs. Santa"?? How lame.
Bring on "Jesus vs. Satan" and I might tune in.

They aren't bad but it's really sad and wrong to put a price on that.

I wouldn't care if they didn't have the audacity to actually charge for these low quality, totally unfunny spoof. Oh, and the irony is that - as with the original Mac vs PC - the sympathy lies with the Santa rather than the bland boring representation of Jesus.
How very un-christian of them.

is what you guys are. Where are your manners? If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything. And I'll bet you'll celebrate Christmas anyway.

not the money so much as the 30 seconds of my life that i wasted watching one of these. I don't normally slag things off for no reason but these do deserve it...PS Xmas just happens to be on the day the Romans celebrated the Rebirth of the Undying Sun. What was that about the 'real meaning' of Christmas?.
It's ok, I can criticise. They'll just love everyone. Including me.
