The Joy
of Tech has a tiny tweak to the Get a Mac ads
that they would like to see. I won't ruin the punchline, but I have to agree with them. That would get me to buy a few
more Macs (they come in six packs, right?).
Need a quick way to rename a file or folder in Finder? Instead of click-wait-click, just click once and hit Return (Enter). The name will highlight and be ready to edit.

Joy of Tech continues it's long tradition of being not funny in least.

Or how about a stoned hippy: "Duuuude, My name is Linux"
I would like to see Joy of Tech's commercial because Mac OS X is sexy.
I'd just hate to see Apple's bandwidth bill after they release that one.

Why is Apple the juvenile hipster? Hip is fine, but why is the Mac some unshaven moron? The essence of the ad should be that Macs are a better, cooler alternative to PCs, not something for kids. The words are right, the concept is great, but the visual is wrong (at least for the Mac).

Yeah, an ad that would probably turn off half of its potential customer base... shocking that they didn't go with that.
