These ads are getting dumber and dumber

Sad.

They've always been sad, but they continue to stoop to stupider levels.

Soon my already low IQ will drop as i watch their nonsense.
 
apple marketing has just been lazy. i mean, its been 2 or 3 years now with this series of ads? and they can't come up with a new theme? man, if i were steve jobs i would fire the whole department.
 
The stupid "#1 notebook on college campuses" is misleading as hell. How many different companies make PCs that run Vista vs. the number of companies that do the same for OSX???? (rhetorical)
 
I think it's hilarious that Apple still manages to get under your skin when they have a negligible market share.

I didn't watch the ads, so I'm just going by the summaries. My take -
1. Vista IS a pain in the ass. I'd rather use XP any day, and I have one FREE copy of Vista Business and one OEM copy of Vista Home (don't remember if it's premium or basic). I used Vista for a few months before giving up and going back to XP.
2. Transferring files is a great service. Best Buy will charge you a lot of money for that, even if you buy your computer from them.
3. Pizza box = WTF.
 
For some reason all these Mac ads manage to have a somewhat condescending tone without making it plainly obvious. I feel like against all logic I need to buy a mac just so I can be as good as everyone else.

Why hasn't Microsoft sued Apple yet? Aren't their ads slander?

No. In order for it to be slander, Apple would have to knowingly be making false statements about M$.

Seriously, the first one doesn't make sense. Are they just trying to take advantage of dumb, non-tech-savvy people?

That's been the target market for Macs for years now. The non-tech people, and the smug fuckwits who think they're tech savvy but are generally clueless morons.

Meh. I still don't get the dislike for Vista. Runs just peachy for me.

I was pretty nervous when I bought a new laptop recently. I had never used Vista and I just knew it was going to be horrible. I browse a lot of tech sites and forums so I have read all of the anti-MS zealots. I was pleasantly surprised when I picked up the computer and found Vista is very smooth, easy to use and powerful. A few months later I have had absolutely no problems with it.

Uhm....they are.

Well about their products at least.
 
There was an article a year ago or more saying that they were going to end that series of ads, or at least get different people to play the parts. I thought they would have moved on to something new by now.
