Title: You know, that makes me NOT want to buy it.
Post by: Tupin on May 16, 2008, 03:46:17 PM
I hate Apple's commercials. They are aimed at people who are misinformed and think that Macs are better than PCs in every way.

My god. I know it's been going on for a few years, but I didn't think anything could be more annoying than those "Switch" ads.  :|

I laugh at those commercials because as Mac and PC have their errors and bickering I sit back and watch. I personally found Linux perfect for me. More stable and open than Windows and Mac(well idk how stable Mac is)

I'm just waiting for a guy representing Linux to just waltz in and trash both of them.

I just want the PC to say, "So, what happens when I want to upgrade a Mac? Can I just replace certain parts like with a PC?"

I'll lol when I see that commercial, even though I'm a Window user myself not willing to change to/try another operating system.  My mom always told me that I seemed to dislike change.  She's right.




I always looked down upon the commercials that bashed an opponent.

"Hi. I'm a Mac"

"Hi, I'm a PC"

"And I'm a Linux PC!"

"A what?"

"A Linux PC! Well, you see, I'm an OS that you download and install for free! I'm extremely customizable. Hell, you can edit me by yourself!"

"Sounds like a moron's playground to me."

"Well, barely anyone uses Linux. but imma still awsum"

...That but betterer.

What do you expect? Both companies make most of their money off of idiots, so they market to them.

As for Linux, call it as user-friendly as you like, but the simple truth is that most people just wouldn't understand how to make good use of it.
