poor ipods.

Poor independant Mac store in NYC when the king of all Apple Stores opens here very soon.

I wish I had a spastic cow, a spastic cow, a spastic cow.

I wish I had a spastic cow, so early in the morning.

ta da!

the sound of the ipods hitting eachother and the floor makes me cringe

Cool commercial though. Clever.

Magic word: George? What the hell's up with that one?

Needs some music or something. I'm sorry, I meant Moo-sic.

-glad cow

does that look like they are running OS9 on that iBook to anyone else? (cool ad)

at least they are old iPods! Cool that they are turned on, too.

Tekserve is the BEST!

It would be more impressive if they used iPod Nano's

Yawnnnnnn....

who cares? New Yorkers suck balls

the computer definitely isn't running os9, you can tell by the overall look of the layout, and not to mention it has a spotlight icon in the upper right.

Looks like it's time to start a new category for the Guinness World Record book. Largest number of iPods used in a continuous domino setup.

Anyone want to beat 200? Guaranteed press coverage!

The commercial was entirely too short, cheap, but effective in a limited way.

Somebody is worried, deeply worried that the new Apple Store in NY will draw all the faithful there.

They should run the add backwards, that way the iPods are standing up at attention. Get the last two to dance.

Be looking for an ad soon that says

"For Sale: 200 slightly blemished iPods. Warranty invalid. Hard drive may have possible damage."

I think the point of the commercial is just to bring a little awareness about their store to the general public. Also, if they test everything before they put it on the shelf they have a slightly different nitch then apple in general and people will respect that and will probably still go there is the price is the same.

Oh and about the no music on the video, isn't it being played in times square where I don't believe they have speakers setup? Hence the no voiceover either... But I like the commercial

"Poor independant Mac store in NYC when the king of all Apple Stores opens here very soon."

Feh. The Tekserve customer experience is, start to finish, vastly superior to the Apple Store. And they are firmly entrenched in pro markets in NYC. I'd much rather shop there than the Apple Store, and I'm not alone. Tekserve ain't going anywhere.

To Road Warrior: Great idea! That would be very cool.

You guys are correct. It does need some music to make it more pro looking, and the idea of having them stand up is pretty clever. Hopefully they'll at least add music before the ad goes into use.

Wow...Someone didn't like my comment and deleted it... Not sure why, I was really nice in it didn't swear or saying anything bad... Just pointed out that the ad is meant to run in times square which I don't think has speakers hence the no music....

That's all....

Disclaimer: No iPods were hurt during the making of this commercial.

Nahhhh...not at all.
While it's great that a flagship Apple Store is coming to midtown, it's also good that TechServe will be around for dependable repairs: according to Apple Store personnel, "...we don't get involved with repairs on anything over a couple years old"). Also, strangely, the product knowledge of Apple Store sales floor personnel is variable at best and surprisingly lacking at worst. I think the two stores will coexist just fine, and each will serve a purpose.

Does TekServe still have those 10 oz GLASS bottles of Coke for a dime? Haven't been there for awhile...

MW: Coke from a glass bottle beats Coke from a plastic bottle or aluminum can any day of the week, and twice on Sundays
