The Mac versus PC commercials have been playing on television in North America and elsewhere for quite some time. They are very engaging. Many people stop whatever they are doing to watch them. If you have not seen them, check out Mac versus PC on YouTube.

On March 19th and 22th, 2009 Barack Obama went live, first on the Leno show and then on 60 minutes. On both shows he made lots of interesting comments but they are all but lost. Why? It’s Shelle’s Law of the Gaffe! Read More…
