Video: The Macintosh Software Dating Game with Bill Gates (1983)

I once told a friend that I got “douche chills” watching a comedian bomb on stage. He had never heard the term before, and asked me what I meant. I wish I had had this clip then…
“Apples are Red, IBM’s blue, if Macs gonna be the 3rd milestone, I need all of you!”
Yes, douche chills are that odd, physically “chilling” sensation that runs between your shoulders and down your spine caused by feeling incredibly embarrassed for someone, and I was pretty much embarrassed for everyone here. I had seen the excerpt of Bill gates talking up the Mac about 1000 times before, but I had never seen it in the full context of this clip. Bill’s professed love of Apple loses something now, as it is obvious he really thought he might get laid if he won the game.
Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Mike for the tip!
We wish you a nerdy Christmas!
“What happens when a group of Apple nerds volunteer to set up their high school’s Christmas Tree in the main lobby?
They make an Apple logo tree topper of course! “
I actually think a better question is “What is up with that one kid’s pectorals? “ They appear to be radioactive.
What with the “War on Christmas” being hard fought, I’m actually surprised a school would even have a Christmas tree, much less let the school nerds be in charge. Read more
Justin “I’m a Mac” Long now dating Kirsten Dunst
That’s right. According to the New York Daily News, Apple pitchman Long and “Celebrity Mac chick” Dunst were spotted “…making out hard-core while waiting in line for margaritas. They were holding hands and were all over each other.”
Long has become quite the cocksman of late. Just a month ago Long and Drew Barrymore “were all over each other” until the pressure of the iPhone 3G launch broke the couple up. (We’re assuming). To the best of knowledge, John “I’m aPC” Hodgman is still dating Cloris Leachman.
A little something for the ladies… Justin Long naked

Yum.
Well, here’s a little something for the ladies. A Shirtless Justin “I’m a Mac” Long on vacation. (Yes, that’s Drew Barrymore he’s with. Looks like Justin’s got game!)
We actually found some shots of John Hodgman on vacation with Ethel Barrymore, but in the interest of good taste, we’re not publishing them.

According to Cosmo, which is NEVER wrong, girls looking to find a single man need look no further than their local Apple Store. 
That’s right. Thanks to sky-high Mac and iPod sales, Apple’s 142 Stores have made Cosmo’s short list of the The Best Places to Meet a Guy. Although, if Cosmo’s readers look anything like their cover girl, odds are they could meet a man at a Girl Scout meeting. So, what’s the Apple Store’s draw?
” Most guys are natural gadget lovers, and with sales of iPods and MacBooks skyrocketing, more men than ever are stopping by Apple boutiques. The vibe at the stores is conducive to man meeting too: You can check your email among cuties, take a free workshop on anything from Photoshop to podcasting (a great opportunity to strike up a conversation), or just survey the, ahem, good-looking merchandise.”
Cosmo’s other two brilliant suggestions for locations are Read more
