Without ANY bias, you have to be a f*cking fool to think these commercials dont do more harm than good. But i suppose when you have laughable sales numbers theres no place to go but up. and YES mac users, you are the emo/goth's of the computer world.. the whole "im different.. I dont care about what anyone says, im me blah blah blah, i can wear tight pants and you shouldnt call me gay for my fruity collored nails." is as overplayed as it is unoriginal. MOST pc users ESPECIALLY the ones who regularly..
have their OS crash, are f*cking morons who dont know jack sh*t. They allow their hdds to become insanely fragmented, probably have a billion trojans/adware installed from porn/"crack" sites where they just idiotically hit yes every time their prompted for an install, don't use any sort of firewall not even something as basic as running firefox, and never install windows updates. Im sure not every mac user is a complete moron... just an overwhelming majority.. but i suppose that goes for everything.
You get a 2 for robot voice alone. As for the whole Mac vs. PC thing.. seriously they're not that different. I prefer PC but i'm not gonna cry and moan if i'm forced to use a Mac, it's still a computer for Christ's sake. Humans are known to have PREFERENCES, if people like Macs, whatever, fine. Though I too hate the Mac ads, when you go defending it saying PC is soOoOoOoO much better you come off as an equally pretentious *ssh*le.
All of you saying "pwned n00bs!" are kind of dumb, along with everyone saying Macs suck. Speaking strictly from a technical viewpoint, Macs just out perform Windows. This ad does give an arrogant spin on Mac users, but listen to all of you saying how "PCs > Mac, LOL." And the reason for the lack of viruses has nothing to do with zero hacker interest, it's because it's a Unix based operating system, and it doesn't contain the vulnerabilities of Windows with kernel sharing.
"So true! I gave Macs there fair chance and I was nothing but disappointed!
And f*ck Hollywood for putting them in every movie they can because it’s
just not cool to be like every one ells. If they only knew the piece of
inferior sh*t they were promoting." So f*ckin right man. Macs used to be good for graphics editing back in the 80's, but now you can do that and so much more on a PC, there's no point in buying a Mac! All they do is limit your options and label you!
I'd just like to add that after viewing this I tried to see the original ad on Apple's website, but failed because Quicktime crashed IE AND Firefox. Three times. Each. Also Macs are good for a. Image editing, b. Video editing, and c. Audio editing. Or at least, they were. Apples use Intel processors now and many if not most Apple users emulate Windows on their computers anyway, which effectively makes Apple a glorified Dell that costs three to four times as much.
As a Mac user, I'm obligated to five this. Holy crap, do I hate those obnoxious, smug commercials. I use a Mac because OSX pees all over Windows, particularly for the sort of sound and video work I need to do. Not because it's cool. Not because it's funny, and sure as sh*t not because of this awful ad campaign. I'll take issue with nobody being interested in hacking a Mac - after this obnoxious campaign, who WOULDN'T want to write the first real OSX virus?
A mac user can't be a REAL communist. A real communist wouldn't put up with the capitalist-monster-esque nature of Macs. It's too closed and restricted. Exactly what a communist doesn't want!
A communist, a REAL true to the name communist, likely would use Linux, or live in a wooden cottage and read a lot of books and have a really big beard.

Yeah, the commercials are pretty annoying, and I do love this site. However, I got an autograph from the Mac guy at the premiere of "Live Free or Die Hard" and he's a pretty funny guy. He shot the sh*t with Kevin Smith for all of the people in attendance while we were waiting outside for the movie to start. Not a dick at all.
