Unless you want to do any serious word processing... i.e., get any real work done, then stick with Windows. Because Mac still can't do that.
Huh??

Huh??
Look at the spelling of "rumor" and tell us it isn't an American site. Just because people from around the globe browse here.
Awesome video. I've got to laugh at the guy off-roading Jurassic Park style with a MBP in his lap though.
I don't care where it is based. The audience is global. They should not write the size of a building in feet.
You don't see anyone with ****** Samsung products doing these things or feeling good about the products they use. *******.
I#m sure many people do amazing things with Samsung Products.
People around the world using Samsung Monitors.
People with Apple branded computers all running on Samsung hardware running OSX
I dunno. That was one of the few ads I've seen from Microsoft that did not focus on the technology itself but rather, what the technology enabled people to do.
The difference in my mind between Apple and many of its competitors is that Apple thinks of the task at hand and at what value Apple products can provide to facilitate that task. Whereas competitors (like Samsung) throw out all this cool technology and features with no particular problems to solve. Prime example - Samsung's smart watch.
Microsoft in my experience has been equally guilty. One gets sold a wintel box that quite frankly, is not suitable for the novice user (like many moms and many people who don't sit behind a computer for a living). All the set up steps that are required. And at the end of the day, the machine still doesn't let you do things that you buy a computer for (edit pictures, edit videos, etc.) without yet going out and finding additional tools on your own.
If Microsoft starts thinking along the lines of facilitating the core things that people want to do rather than selling general purpose things that don't do much useful stuff out of the box, then they could live up to the message that is communicated in that Microsoft ad.

Really?
Having the fanciest saw in the world is not going to make you a master wood worker. If you suck at wood working, no fancy tool is going to fix that for you.
Whereas a master wood worker will build stuff and make do with whatever tools he can get his hands on.
That's the first thing I noticed, so I did not even bother to read the story or watch the video.

Go forth and process words dude.
I don't know what is scarier - that people get this pedantic on the internet or that they might be this pedantic in real life.
Does this show a 'jumbo' iPad in the shot where the kids are filming the aquarium? One of them looks 'large', but maybe it's just the angle or something...

But that's actually more of a societal thing, in that if America had switched to the Metric system, like nearly all of the other big name countries, there would be no chance for screwups like that.
It was a very embarrassing, and easy screwup that happened...
But anyway...

I think Apple's did a better job, because sometimes you don't need the use of words or dialog to get your point across.
yes, because a discussion on macrumors is as important and needs the same level of precision as sending rovers to mars.
It is not just a discussion on macrumors. Dates are posted on the Internet from everywhere. This mess cannot go on, sometimes you have no idea what is meant.
No, I'm sure it was talking about the equipment used. It was obvious that this wasn't just some dude out in the field with an iPhone shooting footage. This was just like any other professional video shoot, with all the usual crew, support gear, lighting, etc.
If the world agrees on giving the slashes to USA and the dots are left alone for the logical system, I'm all for it.
Enter "Samsung ad" in your favorite search engine and be blown away by the search results.
And yet, here you are discussing it on macrumors on a thread that has nothing to do with that "problem".
Isn't there some DateFormatRumors forum that you can take that issue to? I promise you, everybody who cares will follow you to that website so that you guys can discuss at nauseating detail your gripes about the various date formats.
