Thoughts about design and technology.

I’m a Mac. Pay attention to me.

May 5th, 2006

Oh come on, these new Mac ads are ridiculous…

• Viruses - This is the only commercial I saw on TV last week. A few days ago, I heard this podcast which makes the timing of these both the only funny thing about the commercial.
• Restarting - I can’t remember the last time I had to restart my Windows XP laptop…
• Better - Anyone else think it’s stupid pointing out a Mac has Microsoft Office?
• iLife - Pretty weak to have the PC guy using the iPod.
• Network - This one doesn’t even make any sense.
• WSJ - Don’t get me started on Walt Mossberg’s Apple article.

And where’s the “I’m a Mac and can run Windows also.” That’s what this is really all about.”

I promised myself I wouldn’t rant too much on this blog (of all topics to do me in), but more people need than just those on Scoble’s blog need to say something about this.
