Haha, Nice! So true too... so true.

 

[Max Payne]

Nice.....

 

[FF_productions]

They'll never get old...

 

[G5Unit]

HAHA. Although I don't think it has much to do with macs, that's funny!

 

[LimeiBook86]

Here's another new ad. Windows Cryptic Messages

I like the new ads, I wonder when we'll get to see a third since they are usually released in threes

 

[Airforce]

Eh, these are kinda getting old.

 

[Rocketman]

I find it interesting (and good) that the computer branding on all these ads is Mac.

i just saw it on discovery channel...very funny!

 

[gkarris]

Eh, these are kinda getting old.

It's like a fine wine - they improve with age...

The cartful of PC's is histerical - I just fixed a cartload of old Wintel boxes not too long ago...

Can't say I entirely get "Calculator," but I do like "Cryptic Messages."

 

[nutthick]

Getting tired of these.

I agree with you more often than you know

Bundled programs, silly....

When I use a Windows box, I constantly use calculator...

On Macs, I use iPhoto, iWeb, iTunes, iDVD, and iMovie...

The calculator one just does not make sense to non apple consumers. It is a very different market approach Apple seems to be following. Instead of doing the usual "buy my product" they seem to be doing a "look product!" message to the public. I believe they are using us, as Mac Fanatics to do the "buy the product" line. And it seems to be working.

With that being said calculator fit that description while the Cryptic Messages fit the more traditional ad style.

The ad is now on the Apple site.

[nagromme]

I guess they know what works...I only like the Vista security one and the rest (like most ads) just bug me. But non-techie consumers ARE talking about them--still after all this time! So--whatever works

 

[k2k koos]

love em

Windows cryptic messages is great, the other is nice, and demonstrates a nice apple core animation transition...
We need more of these, and especially here in europe, get the recent stuff out here, the Vista ones would be very helpfull right now

 

[Mgkwho]

HAHA.

Both are hilarious. Flashback & Computer Cart are the names, btw. Not calculator.

wmp.dll - Windows Media Player program error?

If I'm right, I've been working on Windows way too long - I might go and get that TV afterall...

 

[Rocketman]

Damn, they called it "Flashback" not "Calculator"

I just saw a new ad, too! It was about PC getting all kinds of errors. I found it funny.
