There was just another one on, and personally, I despise their advertising. You shouldn't have to put down the competition to make yours look better. Simply stating the features and everything else should be enough.
I once thought about trying a Mac OS, but with the commercials they have been airing for so long now my small want has simply vanished. I don't know why, but I can't stand those advertising schemes.
What are your opinions on Apple's advertising campaign?
Horrible. It's worse than Nintendo's barely existent one.
Dirty. Way too dirty. First off, they don't even show Microsoft's TRUE facts, and they come to that conclusion that Mac is obviously better.
Dumba**es.
It sucks and shows that Apple can't actually TELL us about the product instead of putting down Windows.
Let me just say this: If more than 5% of computer users owned Macs, there would be more viruses for them.
Every time I see a Mac commercial I keep thinking that Mac is Jim from The Office.
The commercials are horrible. They don't even state anything about the computer! They just claim that Mac is selling "so well". Um...is that why all PC games state their requirements for windows right on the box and you have to bother looking up the Mac specs?
Their entire advertising stems from the idea that using a Mac makes you look like the hip 20-year-old hanging out at Starbucks, checking out his Facebook, and that if you use a PC, you're a 40 year old fat guy who only uses it for work.
Their commercials suck.
They used to be funny....because they were true.
And yes, they suck now. But seriously, Mac OS X isn't that bad. I own it. Not great, not bad.
I think there commercials are a little funny. But you know whats even better. The Mac commercials parades on youtube.
They were fine when they actually had true facts in them, but now it's just "windows sux windows sux windows sux bullpoop bullpoop bullpoop buy a mac"

That sounds spot-on. "OMG BUY A MAC YOUR COMPUTING DAYS WILL BE PERFECT."
...I like them for the slight entertainment value. In marketing, they have a ways to go.

That's pretty much the same for me.

Agreed.
I used to think they were funny. Now all it is is saying how PCs suck so bad.

Oh, right. :P
Better watch it, or Huelen will enter a rabid state and kill anyone who said the commercials were bad by lecturing them to death about how awesome his IPhone is and how he waited in line to get one.
Fucking Macfags.

f***ing Macfags.
Huelen was a laugh riot the day the iPhone was announced.
"OMG A TOUCH SCREEN FAP FAP FAP OMG STEVE JOBS FAP FAP 600 DOLLARS FAP"
Since my favorite comedian, John Hodgman, is in them, I don't hate them entirely.
...although I wish he'd work on his book instead of doing these commercials and movie deals. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_Mama_%28film%29#Cast)

And the day they the MacBook Air was announced, he went nuts at NS2.
He still owns that pink DS he found at a bus station.
And he supposedly got a restraining order against two "stalker" girls.
I don't like Apple in general.
The whole opinion of them is hypocritical. They say Microsoft controles everything on a PC....and they do....but Apple does the same thing with their Macs, only with them you don't get a choice with the hardware.
I find the iPod to be detestable because I find that no matter how new a PC I use, iTunes, Quicktime, and Safari run slowly. (current theory is that Apple is making crappy PC software on purpose.) I also hate the process of uploading media on the iPod.

I forgot all about that part of Huelen up until now, to be honest. Now he's more of a person that's obsessed with OSTs. :P
Still, I don't deny that a Mac operating system can be nice, but the adverts for them don't need to be so faggy.

If he is to be believed, they were trying to have sex with him.
I don't think premarital sex is right, but I would have at least told them that, and still dated them rather than getting a restraining order.

Microsoft does the same thing with Mac's. Have you ever used virtual PC? Or Internet Explorer or Microsoft Office on a Mac? It SUCKS. Safari and iLife is great on a mac, cause we're not offered anything else good.
So in closing, all computer companies are money hungry gluttons who will do anything to make more money.
