Get a Mac goes web specific
We just posted about the three new Get a Mac ads, and now Iyaz Akhtar over at The Apple Blog has discovered that the campaign is moving from TV onto the web in a variety of banner ads. Iyaz found three new web ads, including (1) a site specific ad for PCMag.com in which Mac points out to PC that PC Magazine has "said some really great things about Macs," (2) the "Vista Nightmare" ad we also mentioned yesterday (also at PCMag.com), and (3) a "skyscraper" ad (right) touting the Mac's freedom from viruses. Iyaz also made transcripts of the ads for the "obsessive types" out there and (in the comments) even tracked down the Flash swf files so you can see them for yourself.So have you seen any other Get a Mac ads around the web?

Has nobody else been noting these as for a while over at Engadget.com?
For me, there was one there just now as well.
I think the videos have been there for a while. They silently play the advert, and if you click on them you get sound too.

I just saw the one over at PCMAG.
Pretty cool - one of the best ads I've seen.
John Hodgeman is so great in these ads.
