You know what I’ve decided I don’t have time in my life for anymore?
The Mac vs. PC debate.
Honestly, the Internet can kill the fun in just about anything, and it has officially killed the fun of this back and forth for me. This new Ad from Microsoft is really what takes the [...]

Apple’s 1984 Commercial makes a cameo in “Watchmen”

Posted by: Michael on Mar 6, 2009 | No Comments

I just got back from one of the early showings of “Watchmen” today, and was surprised to see that even in a 1985 where Dr. Manhattan has brought electric cars to the masses – the Macintosh is still a revolutionary product, and Ridley Scott still directed the commercial above.
If you’re an Apple fan the commercial [...]

VIDEO: “Get a Mac” – Bake Sale…one too many

Posted by: Michael on Oct 23, 2008 | 6 Comments

Ok Apple – that’s enough. Two ads sticking it to Microsoft about spending money to advertise Windows instead of fixing it was kind of fun. I think it was probably one more than was necessary, but three is pushing it.

I think one ad is a nice response to Microsoft’s ad campaign. Two [...]
