Someone needs to relax? If there wasn't a glaring issue, Microsoft wouldn't have taken the video down and apologized. Clearly more than just a few people had an issue with it.
Got a tip for us?

Microsoft Posts Anti-Apple Windows Phone Videos of Questionable Taste [Update: Removed]

Megapixel count isn't the whole story, but I'd guess that the Nokia has a better camera overall. Clock speed definitely isn't the whole story on CPU performance! There are other things like IPC to consider. The new Mac Pro's Intel CPU clock speed is 2.7GHz, and there are cheapo AMD processors clocked at 4GHz. The AMD isn't faster.
Who cares if more than just a few people had an issue with it. Microsoft is a ridiculous company that kowtowed to ridiculous people. The fact that they took it down doesn't amount to a hill of beans.
People got their knickers in a twist and of course the first thing Microsoft does is pull it. All that tells me is that microsoft is a bunch on spineless nitwits, not how offensive the ad is.
You want questionable taste? Check out the Subtember 11th ad. Hilarious and offensive. More than a few people have issue with it. And the onion said, go pound sand.
Other phones have three things on Apple, each of which Apple could remedy with a small amount of fragmentation:
A five inch phone would allow for all day battery, a bigger screen, and NFC.
Is it so hard to understand that these three things (NFC to a much lesser extent as most people can't understand that, battery to a slightly lesser extent and screen to a great extent) are where Apple is severely behind?
They're right!
I hate this so much because I am such an Apple fan but I am losing the faith. I Like Apple mostly for iOS and Mac OS X. But this is ridiculous!!!! I hate that Apple treats everyone like they are stupid when it is just them trying to save money. Why the iPhone 5c when you can't even get an iPhone 5 anymore??? NOOOOO! the iPhone 5 should be $99 not the iPhone 5c that is wrapped in plastic. But hey Apple needs to save some bucks! Same thing with the whole 16GB Cost $199 and 32GB cost $299, 16GB of flash storage does not cost $100!!! Stop it Apple this is 2013! Androids have mini SD for expandable memory, meanwhile people are paying an arm and a leg just for a 16GB iPad.
Now as far as the 5s goes why did they stick with the 8MP Camera?!?!?! I don't care what you did to the lens! You know they could've made it a 13MP Camera and also did the same improvements to the lens. But again Apple needs to save some bucks to reward shareholders. Finger print scanner? Really? That's all you got for us?
I will give them props on a 64-Bit processor along with the M Processor but that is it! Let's not forget what this is, it's a phone. I swear ever since Tim Cook took over Apple has been going straight downhill. They ****ed up the awesome iPod Nano. They were on the right track with the touch screen square nano with the clip. It just needed wifi capabilities for iTunes purchases and pandora streaming, possibly more fitness apps but that's it. Would've been perfect. But what did they do? The took the handy dandy clip off, made it bigger, and added video playback to it? Video F'n Playback. Reallllllly?!?!?! God Damn Apple get your **** together!

It's becoming hip to make fun of Apple, are all the hipster haters gonna hate it now and start liking Apple?

Thanks Interesting Read
Thanks for digging this out. Interesting read. Needed to acknowledge you for this. As for MS, Meh.

Time to close this thread. Nothing but repetitive regurgitation.
I just noticed that, all internet is basically "Same Old ****". People need to hear that chant in their ear when they are typing from now on.
All threads can almost be copied and pasted from a similar one and it's the same result. I suggest we begin having MMA style fights to settle these feuds between forum posters.

why is a mirror of all of the videos not an easily visible top voted comment! it would be on reddit...
Well spoken argument in reply, but next time leave the gay slurs in your keyboard. If you can't see that then as the Lich King says, "We are done here!"
And that's actually funny.
When you take a dump all over someone else's opinion while giving yours, then yes ... that is attempting to make your opinion the only one that matters. I understand where you're coming from, but you made no attempt at seeing anyone else's perspective ... just that people are idiots for being upset.
It's perfectly fine if you had zero reaction to the video, but it makes no sense to not understand why other people may feel differently than you. It's called being human. We all react to things in different ways. That doesn't make those reactions wrong or right. They are what they are. There are more pressing issues in the world to be concerned about ... but you're on a Mac forum with Mac people. So don't be surprised by their reactions to things like this. It comes with the territory. Good grief.
Microsoft simply has no taste. And clearly no sense of humor either.
Keep on bashing Apple — if your brand strategy is to become a bully.

This takes company bashing to a new level. They show Apple employees as a bunch of jerks/slackers/retards. It's almost as bad as if Apple put up an ad like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvsboPUjrGc then a "Microsoft sucks" title.
All those three things are complete crap which nobody, aside from a niche of tech people, care about.
