This campaign is starting to get really old.

I’m a big fan of the PC/Mac commercials.

The one thing that I’ve noticed about them is that they always seem to be 90% PC guy and 10% Mac guy. The commercial usually ends with the Mac guy giving a quick little sales pitch about something “Apple”. To you and me, we all know what a Genius Bar is, or a personal shopper, or iLife, but to someone who has never been in an Apple store, I don’t think they’d know what he was talking about. And I don’t think they’d get it from the commercial. Isn’t that the whole purpose of a commercial? I mean, just because he says, “Every Mac comes with iLife” doesn’t mesn every non-Mac user now magically knows what iLife is, or does.

Never the less, they’re funny and I know what Apple is doing works, so I guess it’s just me.

….Oh, and sorry about the whole iPod thing yesterday, I was in a mood.

Yeah – I’m not sure how well the commercials explain things either. I think they’re only successful because Hodgeman (PC) pulls the idea of PCs as “boring and nerdy” well.

I love most of them – but I didn’t care for this one.

Also – np on the iPod thing. We all go through moods.

Well, this ad isn’t the best nor the funniest yet it has a clear message which is: when you buy a pc it’s pain while you are trying to choose what to buy and it’s also pain after you start using it but with a mac you buy easily (cos there are not a lot of options really) and you will certainly have a lot to do on it after you start using it. Remember? it works right out of the box.
