Is it just me, or are the new Apple commercials actually making the PC look _far_ more appealing than the Mac? And not just to an old PC user...but to a brand-new customer?
Basically, their adds are portraying the Mac as a fun, flashy, shiny toy with lots of cool things for the kids...and the PC as a machine that can actually do all of those things too, but would _rather_ balance your checkbook and be businesslike. This is pretty much how these commercials have always gone...but the latest cycle of them have the 'Mac' coming across as even more toylike and smarmy, and the PC as quite sympathetic, hardworking, and striving to be the best for all possible users.
It's quite strange. I always thought the first round of commercials were insulting, but these are just..pathetic.
Giant Robots virtually never are influenced to buy something from a commercial...but are quite often influenced what NOT to buy. East Side Mario's, I'm looking at you...
