Apple has debuted three new ads from the company’s “Get a Mac” campaign:
“Trust Mac” – Windows PC tries disguise in attempt to evade spyware and viruses. Mac doesn’t need to do anything:
“Accident” – Apple’s Mac OS X isn’t just safer than a Windows PC, portable Macs themselves are safer, too:
“Angel/Devil” – Windows PC fights inner demon upon being presented an iPhoto book created on a Mac:

Good stuff.
Hope they felt that!
I love them !
Any doubt the gloves are off now? Nope…
Trust and Accident are funny. Gotta love the little touch of having the MagSafe pop out at the end.
MW = The ads should boost SALES
The next ad they need to do is have PC dress up in Mac’s clothing and have Mac ask why PC is dressed just like him. Then PC would talk about windows Vista coming out and how much it’s like OSX. And then have Mac ask where the rest of the outfit is and have PC turn around and have the entire backside of the outfit missing. heh
Too easy
Mac got a shave. Cool – it was about time!
Mac Guy probably had to shave for his movie “Accepted”… Wanna see something REALLY scary? Apple is quoting Paul Thu-row-up on their “Next Year’s OS Today” page (http://www.apple.com/getamac/macosx.html). Check about a third of the way down the page on the right side below sidebars.
Magic Word “whether” as is “the whether here in Maine is rainy”
Hey Windows fanboys! SUCK IT!
Hilarious! I love that “Trust Mac” commercial.
“Trust Mac” made me laugh.
I wonder if these will inspire as much vitriol and froth as the previous batch
Where’s the OS?
Why don’t Apple show off Mac OS X?
Why doesn’t Apple show it while it has a chance before VISTA comes out?
Is Apple afraid to promote Mac OS X? Making too much money fooling PC owners into buying a Mac to run Windows?
I took a dump in Steve Ballmer’s office john today, I made sure I missed.

What does this mean, I got it form Apple’s site:
“Plus, since Apple designs and tests the operating system and new hardware at the same time, the company can optimize software and hardware to work well together. That means on such well-designed hardware, that MacBook Pro runs even some Windows software faster than PCs themselves, according to third party results. (They’re able to get these results with beta software from the next version of Mac OS X, Leopard. Apple Computer does not sell or support Microsoft Windows.)”
Uhhhh…..beta software from Leopard? Is this vitualization methinks?
And erad the way they have written everything under the GetAMac campaign, more targeted at Microsoft than ever, they are definitely not pulling punches anymore. It’s going to be a good Xmas for Apple.

Something is coming tommorow….
and I won’t tell.
Actually I did tell but nobody was listening.
Go back a few posts in previous threads and you’ll find it.
Spit it out man no time for such B.S.
“Why don’t Apple show off Mac OS X?

It’s not an informercial, its called advertising and branding.
These ads convey complex concepts in a simple manner, which is what you need when you only have 30 seconds.
I’ve never understood this desire to try to cram all this OS info into a 30 second spot. Things are moving forward just fine. Let the ad pros do their jobs.
Could the angel in ‘Angel / Devil’ be a PC running OSX? is something about to happen????
Plus, since Apple designs and tests the operating system and new hardware at the same time, the company can optimize software and hardware to work well together. That means on such well-designed hardware, that (like the) MacBook Pro runs even (it even runs) some Windows software faster than PCs themselves, according to third party results. (They’re able to get these results with beta software from the next version of Mac OS X, Leopard. Apple Computer does not sell or support Microsoft Windows.)
This is a grammatical error that slipped out past the proof reader. It sure seems like Leopard will run Windows apps natively.
Of course it wont’ run Vista apps, but Vista is not due to be released until next year. Which means Apple could sell a lot of Mac’s if people are led to believe they can run their Windows apps in Mac OS X.
Will Apple get Leopard out soon enough before the holidays?
And you thought I was Sputnik.

tt,
Yeah. Right. I’ll believe that when William Shatner wins an Oscar.
The scuttlebutt on Madison Avenue is that Apple has been making significant ad buys on TV in the Holiday season, much higher than last year. Last year it was all iPod. Apple is finally marketing the Mac again and they have something coming up for this Christmas. You can speculate, but all that ad time is expensive and they will be pushing something very hard.
