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 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!


You think that's bad I saw Jeepers Creepers 2 (on HBO don't worry I wouldnt pay for that crap)....also with a real cute girl too...
 
'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

Maybe Apple Computer is planning on loosing the lawsuit with Apple Corps and the new company name will be 'Macintosh'.


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

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

.Mac bandwidth is 10 GB/month...you can pay extra to upgrade.
 
that second one is genius. but i share the worries with the rest of the crowd about the tempting fate...
 
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?

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.

Nice try...ElectroFunk gets credit for that one. EricNau had it too.

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.

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