BTW: I did a search to see if this was discussed before and found nothing of such. Of course, since I can't find things in general, show me where it was already posted.

Behind the bars is a refference to the UPC symbol looking like prison bars.

Its also a nice dig at Adobe.... Again.

I think taking digs is the worst thing any company could do. Adobe could ruin apple. What if adobe stoped making its software for Mac. Design pro's would have to switch to PC, everyone needs photoshop. :o

this is not a dig at Adobe, this is Apple reiterating its dominance, on the Mac platform, in a very narrow, specific product line, the Adobe version of which is no longer being developed on the Mac (premiere)

Adobe knew about, and gave some sort of nod of approval to, this ad strategy long before any of us did, belive me. Apple is not stupid, Adobe is one thier biggest partners, they are not going to sneak in something that is intended to intentionally piss off Adobe.
