Hello tool. There is nothing superior about apple hardware, so get over your self and let your self come to the realization that you have been duped by paying a premium for inferior hardware, congrats.

LOL have you ever used a MAC? Would be easy even for someone of your intelligence.

Easy on Goku, hes like 10 right?

Why do they portray the Apple as being young and hip when it is, in fact, older than the PC?

Because it's trying to appeal to the emos which are in that age group.

The commercials are funny these day

Yes, I use a MAC and used a Mac. Apple hardware is clearly inferior and slower than any PC I use on a daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, bi-annual, yearly etc.. Let me put it to you this way, a machine outfitted with a Pentium II processor, 7200RPM HDD and 384MB ram Windows XP Pro is worlds faster than ANY APPLE COMPUTER I've EVER used.

Hell if apple makes such great machines, then why is it I had to convert my friend over from his mac to a PC I just built for him? Sure he wants to play CS:S which he can't play on his mac, but after using his mac, I can see WHY he would watch to switch, it's painfully slow! Hell I had to use a mac on a daily basis for about 6 months (OS9) and it crashed more often then my PC at home! I've used macs with OSX and they're even SLOWER then when it had OS9 and STILL crash. This is ONE reason why I hate macs.

I'm inclined to agree. Every Mac that I've used has been painfully slow.

I hate the commercial too. I hate most commercials - I have mastered the art of watching two television shows at the same time.

I agree, the ****** ones that we used in high school (physics/chem) froze and were slower than an old woman using a walker.

except these are criticisms that could be said for almost all advertising.

the entire SUV problem in the country was created solely by advertising-- "these are for hip families. they give you the freedom to go anywhere!" sure thing, soccer moms...

"if you drink beer x you will get the girl."
"this pickup truckup makes you tough and manly."
"gap jeans make you young and carefree."
"volvos will always keep your family safe."

etc.

we're being sold products 24/7. why single apple out?

the fact is apple fills niche market place for easy to setup computers for regular people.

WTF

 

[js1973]

I've never liked advertising that doesn't rely solely on the merits of the product it's pushing. I find that specifically naming a competitor is a big turn off in advertising.

 

[0roo0roo]

first time ive ever seenit thanks to this thread. its stupid as any commercial but so what? i didnt care. nothing to get riled up about. face it, pcs are not kewl.

 

[Injury]

They are full of such blatent lies that it's a wonder microsoft just hasn't bought the rights to that "crash differently" spoof and aired that on every channel in the world.

 

[yhelothar]

macs are the geekiest thing anyways
Fond memories in my old tech lab class where this mac elistist dude would be using a mac.. and then he'd all the sudden get excited.. and go.. "here's the true beauty of the mac!" and he'd continue to pull up the "console" where he'd start typing in commands like he thinks he's some l337 h4x0r.

i think the reason folks on here are singling apple out, is because apple commercials are the typical commerical your ATOT geek would first notice

 

[Red Dawn]

I have yet to see any Computer Product commercial that wasn't annoying, Mac or PC.

 

[js1973]

I don't know Red. Do you remember the commercials for the original voodoo graphics chip? I thought those were hilarious.
