New "Get a Mac" TV ads
Klaidas writes "Apple has introduced 3 new "Get a Mac" TV ads: "Accident", "Angle/Devil" and "Trust Mac" " Normally, posting ads would be make me cry, but these are genuinely funny and well done.

Does the 'Angle/Devil' one show how a Mac can help kids with their geometry homework?
This guy's the limit!
...where the hell is Mel Brooks when you need him?
...and, yes, the new ones are funny - keep 'em coming! :)

Your first mistake there was installing the quicktime plugin, it's almost as bad as the Acrobat Reader plugin.
You're absolutely right. I booted my laptop, and it works perfectly under ubuntu.
There are shills on slashdot. Apparently, I'm one of them.

...that Hemos was the point person for slashvertisements?
Now I'm confused. If I want to get my ad on slashdot is or is not Hemos the person I am supposed to contact? If the policy has changed, we should be notified, no?
Spend twenty years designing (mostly)quality computers, develop an operating system and a multitude of other software apps that are highly regarded by just about everyone, and maybe in your free time create a portable music player and an online store that gets the ball rolling on a new form of media distribution.
Then, perhaps, a website primarily for computer nerds might feel compelled to talk about your ad.
One time I threw a brick at a duck.
Far nicer than the political ads that are swamping televisions this election year.

Apple Ads: Still more truthful and less nasty than the 2004 election campaign.
Not a motto I'd be proud of for my company

In other words, they are good at creating highly marketable, hypable products, but not that good at creating usable products with reasonable prices.
Wow, what a leap of deduction - the computer equivilent of "Therefore, a witch!"
Can you think of no other products that were marketable but also functional?
It is possible to have a product with good design that then also has good marketing. You're just confused because most companies start on the marketing side.
I wouldn't quite your day job to open that detective agnecy just yet.

I would like to see a commercial where the PC guy plays a video game and the Mac guy gets all confused at what he's doing.
I think the ads are pretty good. But I really think I'd feel more comfortable hanging out with the nerdy PC guy than the hipster Mac dude.
posting ads makes you cry? hell man, you must cry a hell of a lot, then..
- are you saying you have chosen to skip on a couple of security updates?
Security updates?

Programs with odd names performing illegal operations and offering them the change to debug, only to do nothing useful.
