“Apple may not have its own Super Bowl ad… but the company quietly launched a new product effort during someone else’s ad spot,” Josh Lowensohn reports for CNET.

I’m glad to see that Apple didn’t spend any of that $140 ,000,000,000.00 that they have in cash on a commercial during the Super Bowl. Why push your product in front of millions and millions of people? How smart is that? It’s not like they can afford to waste money!
When you sell everything you make and your average inventory turn is measured in hours, you don’t need to buy the most expensive ad time on television. Especially if another company is willing to do it for you. SMH.
