    .Mac gets a 1,000 Gigs (tera) a month so I doubt he will get in trouble.

    The ad that's been linked here is so cute! (so is Justin Long.. rawr!)

    Glad to see some advertising, but this does feel a little like asking someone to write viruses for OS X.

    I just saw the one about the wall street journal quote. These are great ads. And its nice to finally see ads like this.

    '24' ad

    There was a 3rd AD on Fox's '24' talking about the awards that the Mac has won over the PC.

    The Mac praised Walt Mossburg, and the PC tried quoting a made-up review, alluding to the fact that PCs dont get awards.

    I don't have a transcript, sorry.

    Yea, Apple has commercials...

    Just wait... Apple stores across the nation are gonna be swamped... I'd bet that $101.00 valuation is gonna split again. Real soon!

    :D

    My thought exactly. Maybe even have a fully owned iTunes subsidiary.

    evil inside beauty outside

    It just was. Inside 24 is brought to us by Microsoft, but 24 is the first place I've seen the new Mac ads. I'm so confused.

    So THAT'S why there was virus FUD!

    Now I see why all those FUD stories about how the Mac is vulnerable to hackers went around last weekend. It was a pre-emptive strike against this new Apple campaign! I bet you a buck there's a connection.

    just wanted to be the first one to say that the mac book will be released tomorrow due to the new ads and marketing strategy. on another note, i have a virus, not a peecee one, or even a mac one, a virus! my throat is sore and my nose is runny and my head hurts.

    Where on Fox? Prison Break or 24?

    Not if you don't tell us on what show!!

    Come on guys - nobody is saying what show and some of us are on the WEST COAST. If I can get a show, I can make a copy and post it!!! :eek: :eek:

    Thanks Arn. Great job.

    Oh, the worst part for me is that I never get to see the girl (she moves away). Jeepers Creepers (the part I saw) wasn't that bad IMO.

    I will post after 11 West Coast Time

    I will post after about 11:15pm PDT. Thanks. Not on Prison Break anyone? Was it in High Definition 16:9? I am recording in HD with EyeTV2. Nevermind here's the links to Arn's work on the east coast.

    Thanks Arn. Great job.

    The video is crashing at about 35% through whether I play it in Safari, Camino, or Quicktime.
