You know the ones I speak of, with the dumbass PC and the concieted mac.
Mac ads seem to hit a button that pisses me off.
Really pisses me off.
A lot.
Anyway, what do you think of them?
I bet you hate them.
I bet you do.

They were kinda interesting to watch, but the whole "Hey, I'm Mac (an ass), I have sooo many cool things. What programs do you have PC? (PC responds) Uhh, well I have calculator!"

The ignorance was unbearable.

Eggo:
They're bad.

What else is there to say?

You could recite a poem.....

I think they're ace!!! I like how they poke fun at all of windows bad points and bigs up Mac's OS. In fairness, macs are better for 'creative' things such as music and video production, etc. Windows are optimized for office and games. Macs can do all a windows pc can do because of the dual OS software, but not vice versa. Therefore i think the ads are not only funny, but true. If a tad annoying. I hate, however, how the new windows ads are a complete ripoff of the mac ads.

Words have never been spoken as true as those of that penguin.

Grrr...It isn't that about what macs can do, its about the way they present it; with some douche bag talking about how great he is. And the windows ads are poking fun at the complete ignorance of the mac ads.

I don't mind them, I think they're kind of funny. I don't know why people don't like them? It must be because they hate Macs in general.

Agreed. I have a Mac, it's great. I don't mind the commercials, but I dislike the new PC commercials. I think we can all agree though; when it comes to commercials TiVo rules.

I thought they were kind of funny to begin with, but they've gotten old.

That animation was shit, Mac and Windows are shit with linux being the only good OS, AND STOP POSTING STUFF FOUND ON THE NET.

I thought it was funny. Don't freak out dude, No one is saying that the animation was speaking the truth.

anyone who sees the joke one made of the PC being Mr.Bean would become a PC

I'm a mac I can upload videos make slide shows and make your own movies what can PC do? GAME!

You know what's a tad annoying?

People who don't know what they're talking about and constantly saying "macs are better for 'creative' things such as music and video production.'"

That is a tad annoying.

Well why do most professionals in the music and video production professions use macs?
Hmmm... must be coincidential

What is spoof? And what is fanboy?

You thought they could've taken a break for the holidays, but instead they just used the holidays to keep shoveling their elitist mantra in consumers collective faces.

Because any idiot can use them......

I love how Mac claims to be better when the majority owns PCs.

yeah, that's really a smart move for Apple: insult the major client base
that's really gonna get more people to buy their product. way to be retarded, Apple

MACs are for hippies, teachers and hippie teachers. No self-respecting computer gamer would own a MAC.

I had a friend in high school that sumed up the MAC pretty well. It's friendly, inoffensive and simple. Coddling you through the experience, rather then having you learn something. He likened it to a toaster, which had more to do with how blocky they were in the early 90s. But still makes some sense today, because MACs can't make a great meal, but they can definetly make toast.

Well no but any music studio worth their salt is equipped with macs.

How do you know? Do you keep tabs on every Mac owned?

If he says yes I will eat a hat.
If no I will laugh in his face *not physically, I mean he's the one who supposedly knows what everyone's doing not me*

Eggo:
I'm not even going to bother with such a bad counterpoint. I'm just going to post this over and over again.

It's not a proper computer thread until eggo does this...so congrats!

In response to fish food carl, no i dont keep a tab on every one ownedbut any music studio worth their salt is equipped with macs.

First of all, you used the same point twice, second, are we just supposed to take your word for it? Do you work in every recording studio on earth? No? Then shut up.

Eggo's point, while obscure, was in fact very well-made. You see that graphics card above? Just about the best graphics accelerator there is for Photoshop work. It doesn't work on Macs.

My main problem with macs can be posed in question form

Have you ever tried to fix one yourself?

You cant its actually impossible but you can sort windows yourself in no time at all

That.
/argument.

First of all, my shitty WINDOWS computer fucked up( wish i had a mac now) and secondly, no i don't, but i know plenty of professionals who have worked in various studios for years, most of which will be running a mac pro setup, either with pro tools or logic software.

y8c616:

Back that up with a source or retract it, that's what there's to say.

Also, I find those ads to be immensely annoying.
