What does "Mac" mean by 'speaking of peripherals..."?

[lamina]

In the new commercial where PC is going for surgery and says he wants Mac to have all his peripherals if he doesn't make it, and Mac says "Oh, speaking of peripherals..."

What does he mean?

The next shot of the iMac is meant to imply that you don't need peripherals with a Mac. Not really true, but good advertising.

I actually think it's the fact that "PC" is in a hospital gown...and as he walks away his rear "peripherals" are visible to our friend "Mac"...notice how "Mac" looks towards "PC" and pulls his eyes away quickly?

Good call TheAnswer. I just watched it again and noticed the quick look away. Good eye

Yeah, it's definitely a joke about the "PC" guy's open hospital gown.

 

[jsw]

Um, yeah... that's a much better interpretation. I missed "the look".

So is that a FireWire port then or what?

well that all depends on what he ate that day as that would affect the transfer speeds.

I thought it was a Keynote only ad and 'speaking of peripherals' was a segue into introducing Apple TV

Yeh I hate it when USB just trickles along. FireWire is good because it comes in one big lump.

 

[Mr. Durden]

You guys are probably right. I thought it was because Mac could use PC's peripherals. So, if PC didnt come back, Mac just inherited all of the peripherals PC had accumulated. That way, there aren't any obstacles to switching to Mac...

TheAnswer has the answer. I get it now!

That just reminds me of those windows on the side of modder's cases with all the lights inside them.

 

[macjackpro]

yea

That's how I took it too.

[echeck]

That's how I took it too.

Ha ha!

I took it to mean he was referring to the new products too.

The real meaning is MUCH funnier!

That is EXACTLY what I thought too.

Makes more sense about the peripherals hanging out though...

Maybe it's a dongle.

LoL nooooo I never want to see one of those again!

What does he mean?

He's making a joke about seeing PC's @ss as he walks away in the hospital gown.
