I considered a Mac, but re: the commercials... I watch intently each time, but only because I love Justin Long (smug Mac guy). Not that he makes me want to buy a Mac more.

As for your question: Yahoo indeed uses webcams, as does AIM.

I’ll let you whip me if I misbehave

Tie me to the bedpost

I like it rough
cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
