    I wonder if this was why that "Benjamin Daines was browsing the web...." news Article about OSX being vulnerable to viruses was wheeled out worldwide yesterday. Would go a bit of the way to attenuating this ad campaign. Definitely obfuscate the message a little bit anyway...

    Rock on. Now let's put a 13" MacBook at the end of that and we'll be all set. :)

    I think they're good - simple, yet effective. Better than the Intel ads, which I just didn't like for some reason.

    I kind of thought so also, but on the bright side, at least Apple is advertising.

    Most likely he'll run out of hie 10GB bandwidth...

    Unfortunately it is the 1st so his sight will be down until next month if that happens :(

    I made a small torrent that I'll upload for a bit to help out.

    Wall Street Journal ad is playing now on FOX! (PC Reading WallStreet journal expecting a bad review for Mac - but it isn't and obviously makes one up about him that sounds good).

    I barely saw the advertisement on The WB but I think that it was Justin Long.

    At least its more entertaining than the commercial for the G5 (when the guy flies through the house and lands up against a tree)

    I saw that movie...well at least the first 1/2 of it...saw it with a real cute girl too...

    but back to being a geek.... that was a pretty good commercial. I can't wait until someone posts a link to the 2nd one!

    Whoot, I just saw one on 24. It wasn't that great but at least it gets the point across. Overall I thought it was good.
