Re: If Apple has a clue, they will yank this ad
After seeing the new ones, I think the toché one was going a bit far. I liked the other 2, though.

And running Windows on a Mac, from what I've read, isn't as easy as the Apple ad implies.
It's actually drop-stupid simple. The Boot Camp installer holds your hand through the whole process. I had my doubts, too...then a client asked me to install Windows on her new iMac. I was surprised at just how painless it was (if you ignore the whole "Windows" aspect of it).

Is it just me, or does the guy playing the PC in these ads look a bit like Bill Gates? I know, he's a lot heavier than Gates, but there's something about the glasses and the pasty face.

Is it me or was this exact thing stated 2 months ago. I sure wish I knew where the black jesus timeline was. That was one of the things that was said when the first batch was aired. I would look for a link but dont' care enough.

Well there you have it.
The fat guy looks like a older and chubbier Gates and the kid from Dodgeball looks like a younger version of Jobs.
What were the chances of that?

Re: If Apple has a clue, they will yank this ad
Gates is so scary... The similarities are uncanny, look at the tie, jacket, hair and glasses! Jobs also matches. I wouldn't be surprised if thats part of the joke...
