Intel: Let's do an ad campaign where we'll get the guy from I'm A Mac, and have him dump on Apple for using their own chips, that'll get a lot of people talking about Intel.
Intel market researchers, 30 days later: They're talking alright. Apple's furious, and planning to burry us under a mountain of sales receipts for non-Intel equipment they sell. And customers think the ads are stupid and are saying we look like idiots.
Intel: We were just poking fun!!! We want to make those chips we just insulted!!!
