Not bad. It was funny to me because I was just showing someone the 1984 ad and discussing its irony in today's era of Apple ubiquity.
Got a tip for us?

Two things:
1. Steve just knows us all by name, not a generic code.
2. Steve WOULD be using OS XI before any of us.
3. We need to bring the Cube back.
Guess which one is out of place.

I watched this online due to the previous discussion on it, and wasn't that entertained, I mean don't get me wrong it got a chuckle out of me but I guess I was expecting a lot more due to the posts about it. What I found more amusing was that on 'Prototype this' (didn't see it until yesterday morning) in there 'get up and go' wake up pod thing the computer that was displaying "all the current information you need when you wake up" was using Mac OS X widgets

I liked the parody at first but then I thought it was starting to go way too far, like all the staff ganging up on Bart with the earbuds. I very nearly cringed with the USB submarine at the end. Ugh.
Also, anyone else notice that at first the Mypod had a click wheel, and then it somehow became a white iPod touch when Lisa showed the Itchy and Scratchy cartoon? (Earlier we clearly saw the click wheel, and she was using it to control the music, and then suddenly it became a touch screen with icons AND the video turned onto the side when she moved it).
Yeah, and it's signed on until at least Season 23. Speak of overkill, this show has been pretty rubbish since Season 10.
Loved it. Hehe. I just knew when Lisa said, "can i just have some white ear phones so it looks like I have a MyPhony... " that the price would have to come next!
Very clever, perhaps might escape some non.apple fans though, especially in the UK where few know the 1984 advert. Great still.

My introduction to the 1984 ad came from a parody in the Future Stock episode of Groening's other show, Futurama
funny, i laughed.
a friend called me and told me about it last night and said how i was an idiot for owning a mac.
im glad he gets is social tips from a cartoon in between his BSODs
( i also laughed when i realized that apple recognized 'BSODs' as a word )

I agreee... I think people who still find this show funny aren't realizing its the same jokes they have made a million times in the past.
As for the Apple thing... It's just stupid. The only thing it did point out right was you don't know what it's like until you own one. Everyone of my friends bashed me for liking apple. Now.. they all own one.
