Wow ... Apple must be getting very desperate

[purbeast0]

The one where they are promoting a magnetic power connector for the power cord vs. one that plugs in is just ridiculous. Maybe they are trying to say that only idiots who would use a macintosh computer would have their power cord lying accross the middle of the floor where you constantly walk, but I dunno.

That one just went overboard.

those apple ads suck...they're not funny at all

 

[Quasmo]

or the fact that they didn't mention any thing about exploding batteries.

That's in the next Sony commercial

 

[intogamer]

I wouldn't say desperate...

But their PC MAC commerical sucks.

 

[EyeMWing]

link to ad?

 

[Fenixgoon]

i agree... wtf puts a power cord in a spot where it can be easily tripped over? is apple suggesting that their product is for people who lack common sense?

 

[rsd]

Actually I thought it was a great commercial. I imagine this has happened to almost everyone with a laptop to some extent or another. If anything the point is that apple does design their laptops to consider careful details.

(FYI: I don't own a mac at all, but several PC's including laptops)

Yup. Apple provides premium computing. From the small details like the power cord to the best user interface developed yet, it's just better than other pc manufacturers. OP, you're a moron.

Best user interface my ass. Best LOOKING, sure, but from a usability standpoint, I'm writing a paper that completely and totally dismantles it (and no, it isn't just my opinion, I'm basing the whole thing on UI usability textbooks)

 

[her209]

Let me guess... this "cool" power cord costs an arm and a leg to replace?

If you know how to use the keyboard shortcuts it is the best interface around. And it still is just your opinion, even if you're using textbooks. You could just be a bad student.

LOL :laugh: Doesn't that defeat the purpose of a graphical user interface?

You should try to improve your reading comprehension. I said user interface, not graphical user interface. Also, using expose has a graphical component that is very nice and clean. It's a thousand times better than using windows shortcut keys.

So the Mac OS does not use a graphical user interface? My mistake...

Are you really this stupid? Or just an ass?

 

[postmortemIA]

Like SCO that has only law department, so the Apple has only marketing dept.

They have antagonized PC users in that way that I wouldn't consider them in my lifetime.

 

[Ika]

The commercial is retarded, but I bet there are tons of people who look at it and say "omfg that's best invention evarr $$$$"

 

[n7]

I despise Apple's advertisements.

I would have nothing against their products per say, other than the fact that they are often an overpriced fad item (iPods), but because of their lying advertisements, i simply refuse to buy anything they make.

I'm not saying other companies don't spread BS too, but none do it as blatantly as Apple.
