Fuck guys, she's even in Wikipedia:



Ellen Feiss (born 1987) is an American high school student who became an Internet phenomenon after her 2002 television commercial for Apple Computer's Switch campaign grew into a cult hit among Macintosh aficionados. In the commercial, the then-15-year-old Feiss complains that her father's Windows PC "was like, bleep bleepbeepbeep" and then "devoured" her school paper, which she then had to rewrite quickly, which was a "bummer."



The incident she describes in the commercial is thought to be an operating system crash which prevented the keyboard buffer from being read, causing it to fill up. The BIOS on such computers will often cause the motherboard's speaker to beep with every keystroke when the keyboard buffer is full.



Fueling the popularity of the advertisement was her attractiveness and the speculation that Feiss was under the influence of illicit drugs during the filming of the commercial, due to her slurred speech and disoriented eyes. In the only interview she was to give, Feiss denied these claims in the Brown Daily Herald and noted she was only taking allergy medication. That, plus exhaustion (apparently her ad was filmed near midnight) allegedly produced the "druggie" behaviour.



A second ad, in which Feiss talks about the virtues of her PowerBook G4, ending with an almost ecstatic "I really love my G4" was circulated exclusively on the Internet.



Feiss' popularity grew to the point where she was offered appearances on both David Letterman's and Jay Leno's late night shows, both of which she turned down.

"

hmmm both 404'd. Looks like her 5 minutes of fame is over.



My far out consipiracy theory - Steve Jobs slipped her a rohypnol, then took advantage of her after the filming. She probably never remembers doing the commercial, but got a free G4 for her 'efforts' on and off screen.]]>Dec 21st 2005 8:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/21/switched-on-the-year-of-the-switch/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/21/switched-on-the-year-of-the-switch/Dec 21st 2005 9:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/21/switched-on-the-year-of-the-switch/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/21/switched-on-the-year-of-the-switch/Dec 21st 2005 9:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/21/switched-on-the-year-of-the-switch/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/21/switched-on-the-year-of-the-switch/Dec 21st 2005 9:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/21/switched-on-the-year-of-the-switch/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/21/switched-on-the-year-of-the-switch/Dec 21st 2005 10:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/21/switched-on-the-year-of-the-switch/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/21/switched-on-the-year-of-the-switch/

go back and look at the boxes Apple was selling to the x86 developers when the Apple/Intel union was announced.. it was a G5 case with a generic PS, and a generic MB haphazardly installed into a current fab G5 case.. if Apple was serious about having an x86 based box, they would have had something already designed before the anouncement.. not something that a 15YO with a screwdriver can do..



i think it's BS, the move to intel.. moving to intel would be stupid at this point.. i don't mean "x86", but i mean to be supplied by the company intel..



there will be a marketed OSX-x86 made.. it will run on any x86 box, not Apple-branded x86 boxes, and will have certain functions slightly crippled to draw x86 users into moving to the PPC-based Apple branded boxes..



and if Apple actually moves to x86, and produces x86 boxes??



why would i buy an Apple when there are so many other x86 boxes that are cheap as dirt?? style can only float you so long.. look at sony.. Apple will get killed in the cheap x86 market.. cannot compete with an OS and a fashion statement at a exorbitant cost..



but, a low cost x86 based OSX that is designed to pull users away from microsoft and into a new PPC-based box would work..
