Make your own anti-macintosh commercial

*sigh*

I kind of like the ads... I mean, sure, they're biased, and a well-informed individual can come up with a counterpoint to pretty much anything the Mac says, but hey... they're ads! They're trying to sell Macs!

Apple just does a very good job cultivating an image for itself, and yeah, it's a pretty successful and appealing image. I don't see why people should feel threatened by it.

These commercials are just extensions of that image - they're stylishly made, and hey, kinda funny at times.

hahahah garage band is SHIT. its so bad. its the most basic piece of shit known to man. if you want to actually make music instead of cheating and putting stupid loops together get something else.

It's basic, but it does the job for people who don't need anything better... hell, I cut my teeth on ACID Pro. 'Sides, what the sod do you use for production?

I feel the same way. You know those progresso vs campbell commercials? I hate progresso for their childish insults against campbell.
Yes! I remember that! I remember feeling the same way. I boycotted Progresso.. That pissed me off so bad. Don't **** with my soup mother****er. That had to have been some commercials from 15 years ago, and I still never forgave them. :devil:


On topic:

I've seen these Apple commercials too, and I had never seen a Mac commercial previously. They don't really bother me, I actually laughed when the PC guy started crashing. Lol. I assume they are really trying to make a come-back since they have made all this money with iPod, they are sinking the profits into commercials for Mac. Meh, good for them. Get ~50% of the market share and I'll consider buying one.. right now they have about 5% someone said?

What the hell are you talking about? Violent games can't play on Macs? What sort of substance are you smoking? o_0 You are a very strange person and like to make seemingly random comments, like the 1984 one in the magnet-finger thread. It's troubling so please stop. : /

Those commercials are so bad, so very very bad. Apple is shifting their targetting market from just old people who don't know jack shit about computers to young hipster kids. This bastardization is the result. I hate those commercials with a passion, and I think the reverse would be hilarious to see.

That one where they are discussing what programs come with PC and Mac is just ridiculous.

I like Macs to some extent, and I definately don't hate them. But these commercials are crap. :(

I'm not saying they don't play on macs. I'm saying that apple doesn't market the mac as "gaming" machine, so don't call it shitty becuase of that.

I'm glad you like my strang comments though.

your forgetting Lunix and some the Open Source OSs (think one or two exist).
 
Tip... spend more effort proving how good your product is, and less on how bad you think competitor's product is.

You'll have a more informed consumer base.
 
Mac: Hey there PC dude

PC: GO **** YOURSELF MACS SUCK YOU HAVE NO GAMES!! HAHAHAH!!

Mac: Ummm...ok...

PC: THAT'S RIGHT BITCH EAT IT!!

That's about all we're doing here

Then get the full version (logic pro) which is the best sequencer known to man.

why is apple getting credit for open source OSs ? .. and why would they help with their marketshare (os and hardware) ?

iirc, linux has < %1 on the desktop market, i'm talking about %0.30, i'll see if i can find the site with the stats.. and don't expect *bsd to help with that, it would probably bump it up about %0.03. ;)

I never said they were getting any credit. I was saying Apple does not own 5% of the computer OS market as perviously implied.

have you ever used a mac?
I used a mac from 1994 to 1998 and in the years between had to use them at school, and had to use them at my school now for pic/video editting.

Yes they suck ass. PC is superior. There's nothing super special in their editting abilities that you couldn't do on a PC.

fruity loops, cubase, and sonar. im kind of a freak :D
 
Used to use Fruity Loops, but made the switch to Reason a few years ago, along with occasional usage of Rebirth. Only now getting acquainted with Cubase and trying to wrap my ****ing head around Reaktor (I fear it's impossible).

Logic looks pretty sweet, but it's a damn shame that's not really applicable to me since I refuse to use a Mac. Fisher-Price PC's is what they are.
 
I just happened to be listening to the greatest rock album of all time, and a thought struck me that's going to end this PC vs Mac debate once and for all.

A Mac performed Fitter Happier, one of the integral tracks on Radiohead's OK Computer. Which, just in case you inferred the wrong implication, is in fact the greatest rock album of all time.

So yeah, they really are cool and hip and poppin' fresh and stuff. Macs don't just listen to Radiohead, they ARE Radiohead... kind of...
 
Macs are great for movie and music production, it's also the best machine for graphic arts (photoshop and shit) but when it comes to gaming the PC has it beat
