Justin Long a Mac no longer?

Radar Online is reporting that Justin Long, the actor who plays the part of the Mac in Apple's Get a Mac campaign, is no longer an Apple spokesman. A new round of ads is being worked on with John Hodgman (the PC) and director Phil Morrison but Justin Long with not appear in them, according to his 'people.'

Was this Apple's decision, or Justin's? We may never know, but Justin's representative said, "Justin's a movie star, not a commercial guy."

So, dear TUAW readers, who do you think should fill his shoes as the Mac in the new commercials?

Thanks, Matt.

Considering that I had to have my iMac serviced 3 times before having to replace the hard drive, and that I had to have the power supply refurbished, all in 4 years time, maybe Justin made the right move to leave Mac behind.

That and the Dell guy is unavaliable. He stopped doing Dell commercials because he is a coke addict. Good Luck to him though, at least he's stepped out and is trying... I hope...

I guess Apple's people don't understand that there's no such thing as Bad publicity.

They should stop bashing on the PC, and release stupid Mac OSX for any PC user to install on their machine.
