“It now appears that Apple has finally pulled the ‘Get a Mac’ campaign from its site, redirecting the page to an expanded ‘Why You’ll Love a Mac’ page highlighting five key marketing points for Macs in comparison to PCs: Better Hardware, Better Software, Better OS, Better Support, and It’s Compatible,” Slivka reports. “Apple’s extensive gallery of ‘Get a Mac’ ads has also been removed from the site, with the URL similarly redirecting to the ‘Why You’ll Love a Mac’ page.”

Really gonna miss those commercials. FIRST!
Oh I’d bet that they’re all still echoing around the tubes…
MDN, did you mean for the entire text of your article to be a link to the macworld article about SJ being unimpressed with Google’s new video codec?
@Jacob
Of course they did! Why wouldn’t they want it to be a link to something completely unrelated?
While I’ll certainly miss the commercials, I bet they discontinued it because something new and fresh is in the pipeline.

They could be doing an old fashion google bomb. Trying to trick Google into highly ranking a disparaging website by randomly linking to it.
They served their purpose.
They teased out and reenforced that kernel of an idea that most people probably suspected all along: Macs are better (if you can afford them).
The next phase is starting: “Apple’s products are for everyone”.

I hope you’re right. Apple is more than iPhones and iPads. Yes, I know the iPhone/iPad/iPod touch family generate the bulk of Apple’s profits. But there’s plenty of room yet to grow both on the consumer PC side and especially in the Enterprise.
And, yes, something “new and fresh” will be nice to break up the season of TV series repeats we’re now entering.
Apple should release them all on a compilation DVD. I’d buy it.
Good move. The commercials were great, but it’s good tovquite while you’re ahead.
Btw, what’s with the “jesus loves you” thing before comments? I’m afraid to click on it and find out!
Omg, it’s not there anymore! He doesn’t love me. Can’t blame him though.
It’s back, only now God loves me. Alright, i’m going in, gonna click…
Seriously MDN, get rid of that ad.
Apple is now turning it’s big guns away from MS toward Google. I suspect we will soon see some ads mocking Google.
For example, how about Justin Long saying, Hi I’m Apple and a used car salesman with glasses and a bad haircut saying, Hi I’m Google and do I have some crap to sell you.
Or Justin saying, I’m Apple while the guy with glasses and a bad haircut tries to get him to commit to a free vacation if Justin will only listen to an hour long sales presentation for condos at Google Bay.
The possibilities are endless.
A moment of silence please!
@ Jimithy,
“While I’ll certainly miss the commercials, I bet they discontinued it because something new and fresh is in the pipeline.”
Yes Jimithy there is an iPad, In fact there are 2 of them. One has a 3G data option.
Even better. Justin shows up and asks where’s pc? A robot shows up instead with a phone. Here begins the next wave of commercials – mobile.
Okay, who would you want to play the part of I’m an iPad?
@Johnsson
We have to click on it, we’re fan boys! We must click on shinny things.
@Lotlus Eleven

How about…
Justin Long: “I’m a Mac!”
Google Android: “Warning! Warning!… Warning, Will Robinson!”
and meet the ‘I’m a PC’ replacement…
