Apple is dumping Justin Long, the “I’m a Mac” geek.

I wonder why. Both he and the PC guy annoyed the hell out of me. But he annoyed me more.

I don’t think I’m alone. Check out articles at RadarOnline.com and Slate.com, the latter of which says that the Mac guy is “just the sort of unshaven, hoodie-wearing, hands-in-pockets hipster we’ve always imagined when picturing a Mac enthusiast.”
