"Next Top Model" runner-up switches to Mac, kind of
You might remember Elyse Sewell from Cycle 1 of America's Next Top Model. She's the one who made that infamous confessional video (strong language). She's also the one dating that guy from the Shins. She recently went out and bought a MacBook.
In a typically profanity-ridden but hilarious blog entry, she discusses her reasons for the purchase: a Mac-loving boyfriend and a firm belief that she could adapt to OS X.
After discovering that Hong Kong return policies weren't as flexible as those found in the US, Sewell decided to stay switched, "I must pretend this fiasco never happened, shake off my stuck-with-a-macitude, retire this NEC forever and start mastering the Mac. I will not get Windows XP for it. I will not be in a snit about it. In a month, I will surely love it, and the MacBook will know who's boss. Me!" TUAW wishes her the best of luck.

I must admit that watching America's Next Top Model is one of my vices. I always loved Mac-spotting in the show. A dSLR connected via firewire to a PowerMac, connected to a 30" screen, reviewing the pics in preview... and they ported that setup around everywhere! Whoa! :p

Oh god, that was probably one of the funniest blog posts ever. I'm sure she'll get the hang of OS X tho, it's pretty sexy and sleek and just about any body could use it.

That was really painful. I can't remember the last time I wanted to kick someone in the head after just reading a blog post.
