For all the computer hacking and technological mischief of Live Free or Die Hard (which was an incredible two hour marathon of explosions, one-liners, and close calls), there were no Macs to be found. Eat shit Justin Long. As soon as he becomes a "brilliant hacker," he drops all loyalty to the cool Macs that are so good at doing "fun stuff." He tries to keep of the cool facade with theories about how the media is designed to stimulate the economy by causing Americans to live in constant fear (theories I can debunk with the words "24-hour coverage of Paris Hilton"), but he just doesn't seem as cool when his counterpart is played by Bruce Willis rather than John Hodgman. My guess would be that Willis was representative of a quality computer line. Something like Compaq. Moral of the story: Macs are for Photoshop, PCs are for screwing with governments, and John McClane is for kicking ass. Yippee-ki-yay motherfucker.
