It’s a funny or die parody of both Microsoft’s and Apple’s ads, so it’s obviously adults talking though two cute little girls. Hilarious:
I’m sensible. I would never spend thousands of dollars to just fit in with the cool kids! I’m a PC, I get the job done!
I am a Mac and, obviously, I’m better than the PC.
What happens when a Blackberry takes on an Apple?
This:
But of course, unrealistic ideals are easy to refute, and that’s exactly what Apple’s creative types did:
As funny as all these “ad wars” can be, RIM kind of shot itself in the foot (pun intended) with that one ;)
Voilà, un nouvel iPod shuffle est sorti—très sympa d’ailleurs, même si je n’accroche pas au fait qu’il faut absolument utiliser les écouteurs Apple pour le contrôler (pour l’instant en tout cas)—mais comme la tradition dicte chez Apple, avec tout nouveau lancement il faut sortir un “bug” sur Apple Store.
OK, j’exagère un peu sûrement, mais il a quelques mois nous avons eu le droit à un Parfaitement con, cette fois-ci, si vous voulez acheter un iPod nano, vous verrez qu’apparemment Apple a décidé d’offrir son surplus de shuffles 2ème génération :
Ah, apparemment ce n’est qu’un problème de traduction… “Toujours disponible” est devenu “Toujours offert”. Je suis déçu, mais bon, c’était trop beau pour être vrai, surtout venant de—enfin, je ne vais rien dire :P Je me demande quand même combien est payée la boîte qui fait la localisation de l’Apple Store…
Don’t worry, I’m not getting into a useless debate; I’m just sharing a little humor and the great technical skills of Nick Greenlee.
So, sit back, ignore the first couple of seconds of really bad acting, and enjoy seeing how one of the two platforms has to cheat (as usual?) to win in this epic battle :P
In the latest Simpsons episode, the family visits the new Mapple Store at the mall.
I don’t know how long the video will stay online, but it’s just great!
I had never visited an Apple Store before my trip to London at the beginning of the month, but I found it was really fun; it felt like visiting the HQ of the Church of Scientology for some reason :P
Anyway, enjoy the fist few minutes of perfect Simpsons sarcasm.
Some typos are just beautiful!
The highlighted text would read “Perfectly dumb” or maybe even “Perfectly stupid” in English.
I’ll just say: Perfect!
I don’t have anything against Apple or Macs, but still I’m more of a PC person. The main reason is that I find that, for the same price, I can find equivalent (and “open”) hardware from PC manufacturers.
What I do love about Apple is that, since they fully control hardware and, to a large extent, software (when will the EU impose a N version of Mac OS, like it does for Windows?) they can do great things on the user experience side.
Speaking of cool things on the user experience side, according to this list of features, the new MacBook Pros will have a multi-touch trackpad, just like the MacBook Air and similar to the iPhone and the iPod Touch. Isn’t that great? I’m more and more tempted to get one of these in the short term, I can’t afford it just yet though ;)
