In a [url=http://www.justinlong.net/ubbthreads7/ubbthreads.php]blog[/url] on his web site, he writes: "as for the mac commercials, i don't know where that report came from that said i wasn't going to do anymore - i literally setting my alarm right now to wake up for a mac shoot tomorrow - if i'm not doing anymore i guess i can sleep in on my day off - that'd be nice. but yeah, we're doing some holiday spots now which i think will be pretty funny - not nearly funny enough to justifiy the money they're paying me though, i'll be honest with you. as for the future, i really don't know what i'm going to do - i'm surprised, frankly, that the campaign hasn't become tired and they've just ended it on their own - but i try to live as much in the present as i can considering the future doesn't exist, i'm not really sure. they're easy to do, i love john (the pc guy) and working with him is so effortless and fun that i definitely wouldn't rule out doing some more - and, as i said, they pay us nicely." Long is pictured at the right.

On Nov. 8, it was [url=http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2006/11/apple-ditches-mac-guy-in-new-ads.php]reported[/url]] that Long (Dodgeball, Herbie: Fully Loaded, Accepted) was out as the "Mac" in the "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" ads. Though more of the ads are in the works, supposedly the young actor was being dropped as being an "unshaven, hoodie-wearing, hands-in-pockets hipster we've always imagined when picturing a Mac enthusiast." At the time director Phil Morrison and TBWA\Chiat\Day (Apple's ad agency) all declined to comment, and Hodgman's rep would only confirm that new ads were in the works.
