New Apple ads

The ads are here.

In "Out of the Box" all the things the Mac says he can do so can the PC right out of the box. Then the PC has to download drivers. Only if he is a custom built PC and not a store bought one. The PC has to erase trial software only if he is a store bought PC. A fresh install of windows doesn't come with any trial software. OSX comes with a trial of iWorks and Office, but the ad doesn't tell you that. Why does the PC have to read any manuals. I find Windows easier to use than my Mac. Why does the PC say the rest of him is in some other boxes unless he is a custom built PC and the other boxes are the MB, HD, video card, etc.?

In "Touche" the Mac is just stupid or I am because the Mac says the PC use the word Touche wrong. He says you can only use it if you make a point and you make a counter point. His point was he is a PC then the Mac goes so am I and I can run windows. That is the Mac's counter point, so the PC says Touche. That is used correctly right? I think PC guy should say but I come with Windows, so ha and I could run OSX if Jobs would let me. See Gates is nicer than Jobs since he shares.

In "Work vs. Home" they forget to mention the funiest thing, GAMES, which the Mac has way less support for. Also the PC can do music and movies. I don't know about podcast, but since that is just streaming audio they can do that also.

I just really hate these ads and I just had to vent some.
 
I hate them too.

Most people out there dont know enough about computers to know that some of this stuff is just bullshit.

Why do people hold such contempt for Apple? It's a curiousity I've noticed a lot recently.

Because their products are no better than others, and yet they promote it like it's the best thing ever, and people fall for it.
