John Hodgman / PC
John Hodgman is an American author and humorist who is best known for his personification of a PC in Apple's "Get a Mac" advertising campaign. He is also known for his correspondent work on Comedy's Central "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart".
In addition, Hodgman is the founder of, and master of ceremonies for, The Little Gray Book Lectures in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The lectures have been on hiatus "for the foreseeable future" as of August 2007 (currently noted as "until at least Jan 1, 2008").
While he plays the role of a PC in the campaign, Hodgman is actually a diehard Mac user: "I bought the very first Mac, or convinced my father to buy it, in 1984.
Justin Long / Mac
Justin Jake Long is an American actor, known for his performances in the films Herbie: Fully Loaded, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Live Free or Die Hard, and his personification of a Macintosh computer in Apple's "Get a Mac" advertisement campaign.
The campaign features commercials in which Long as a Mac and John Hodgman as a PC, are engaged in playful banter about "the strengths of the Mac platform and weaknesses of the PC platform." Despite his various roles as computer geeks, he admitted to CraveOnline, "I'm very, very computer illiterate... I get the worst of both worlds; I look like a geeky hacker but I don't know anything about computers".
