Get a Mac



It would seem that Apple's newest advertising campaign is called 'Get a Mac.' There is a new section of Apple's website entirely devoted to this (http://www.apple.com/getamac).  There Apple lists a number of reasons why you should get a Mac:
Interestingly the site also debunks the usual arguments about not getting a Mac, which include:
  • Yes, Macs run Office
  • No, Mac aren't slow (thanks to Intel!)
  • Your old printer and other peripherals will work
Finally, Apple has posted all the 'Get a Mac' ads here (there are 6 of them in total).

On the Network one, and I'm probably trying too hard here, does it mean to say that you can just plug in a digital camera INTO iPhoto? PCs work with PlugnPlay no problem, but do not have a photo app out of the box?

But its a very cute and funny Ad anyways.

DaringFireball.com has a reader explain it, she said "somethingsomething otaku", "he looks like a nerd *giggles*"

Talk about irony.

While viewing the "Restarting" ad, can anyone guess what happened to me?

Anyone else have a problem with them promoting -beta- software as a reason to get a mac?

Hasnt there been know issues with bootcamp turning computers into windows only bricks? I think this was a poor move to put bootcamp on this page.

Good Job Apple, nice to see the ads. They put forth several points in a clear but humurous manner.

Mac's don't crash? That is so f'ing stupid. This ad campaign sucks.

Liking Apple ads less and less. Once again, they resort to putting down the other guy and making big, unrealistic boasts. We're faster! We never crash! We're invulnerable to viruses! I could understand a parody, but they're not all that funny. They should fire the marketing team and create ads that make people desire a Mac rather than position it as an alternative to the PC (there are other alternatives). Weak.

@38: Ah, I listened to it several more times, and I believe you are correct. Embarassing, considering I am a native speaker (I haven't lived in Japan in ten years and it is showing). =(
