Apple's War on Microsoft Continues

Is Microsoft ever going to counter Apple's satirical advertising exposing their irresponsible budget allocation towards advertising instead of fixing Vista's problems? It seems that Apple is airing ads without obstruction that mock Microsoft and continue to land blows to the heart of PC owners. It's no wonder that Macs are becoming much more popular; it appears that Apple is always innovating and making their computers more user friendly while Microsoft is always trying to fix problems with their products and cover them up with lame advertising. These videos are a just a continuation of a post I made earlier this week. I can't wait to see what's next.....

Microsoft's Vista an Easy Target for Apple

In addition to Vista's incessant functionality and compatibility problems, they're getting slammed on the advertising front. Their short-lived attempt at a humorous campaign with Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld was bombarded with negative press and question marks. People didn't understand the humor and blasted Microsoft for their poor attempt to be clever. After all is said and done, what's actually funny is that Microsoft paid Jerry Seinfeld $10 Million for his appearance in these short ads.

What their campaign opened the doors for was nothing less than another "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" ad from Apple poking fun at Microsoft for their $10+ Million strike out. I hope Microsoft has a rebuttle to keep this war alive, but Apple wins the battle once again. Check it out....

How Small Is Too Small?

When the commercials came out for the new MacBook Air I was excited to see how consumers would react. Because I'm bigger than the Average Joe, I tend to like bigger gadgets. For instance, I'd never buy a iPod Nano when there's a 160 gig iPod Classic that's much bigger and better. Regardless, I've noticed that everytime Apple has introduced a new gadget, they follow it up with periodic releases of the same gadget in smaller and smaller sizes. Apparently, "Mini" is not small enough. With Apples newest release of the MacBook Air, I struggled to accept that it's more important to be able to slide your laptop in a manila folder than leave it on your desk like us normal folk.

Luckily, for all the big people out there, this mini syndrome hasn't gone unnoticed. Please enjoy this MacBook Air ad parody that's entertained almost a million viewers on YouTube.
