No offense was taken. The most important part of my previous post was the smiley.

I was at a pub last night, enjoying some flaming hot wings and a brew, when one of the ads came on the big-screen TV. It was interesting to note how many people watched and discussed it.

Did you see/hear anyone who seemed to be offended because the ads were "diss-ing" them?

CAlvarez 05-04-2006 06:16 PM

I couldn't hear any conversations, too loud in the place. I saw laughter and general discussion, didn't see outward signs of offense. I think these ads are anti-Windows, where some ads in the past could have been seen as anti-user.

Exactly. I think its a clever way to illustrate the pros of owning a Mac over a PC.

WSJ readers with t-shirts

I don’t think you have to be a suit to read the Wall Street Journal. I purchase it on occasion. "Mac" in the ad looks like a credible subscriber to me. And the Norwegian equivalent of it, Dagens Næringsliv, is read by some of the hippest people I know. In fact, I would venture to say that its (DN) Saturday edition is far and away the country’s best newspaper.

And for those who don’t read the WSJ, rest assured that Mr Mosberg’s musings are quoted in publications throughout the world. He truly is respected.

But I wouldn’t be caught with a necktie more than two-three times a year. Tops. I coined a phrase about neckties; roughly translated:

"Ties strangle clear thinking."

:cool:

Hmm - that is usually attributed to Lin Yutang - e.g. see: http://www.quotegarden.com/clothing.html

Shucks! :o Never heard of him, nor the quote.
Well, just goes to show that all has been said before, and by wiser people than us.

FYI: There are 3 new "I'm a Mac" ads.

http://www.apple.com/getamac/ads/

They are titled "Out of the box", "Touché" & "Work vs. Home".

I wonder how much attention Apple will get with that Touche one, telling people that Macs run Windows.

I like all of them.

CAlvarez 06-13-2006 01:43 AM

Powerful.

"I've gotta delete all that demo software..." Bahahahahaha
