Apple shows their whiny little bitch side
26 Oct
Apple released a couple of new PC vs Mac adverts recently and well, they really make Apple a nominee for the, “Who’s the most bitter little corporation in the room?” award.
I mean, really?
Aren’t you guys above this pettiness now?
I don’t claim to be a PC fan. I don’t claim to be a Mac fan. My desktop is a PC, my laptop is a Mac and I have an iPod. I really can go either way. (The only time I show any kind of loyalty is when it comes to my consoles. PS3’s are just better than the Wii and the Xbox 360. Deal with it.)
That being said I hope the Apple fanboys will forgive me when I say this is a prime example of a company being a whiny, bitter little bitch because their competitor has something they can’t really fault. (And they released something of an overly hyped lemon just a little while ago).
And can we not get a new ad campaign? You know, something that actually tells me why I should buy a Mac instead of telling me that Windows sucks.
Although, it certainly wouldn’t be the price…
These were somewhat cute and funny when they first came out but the novelty has worn off now and you’re looking a tad pathetic guys – especially since you’re a mega corp in your own right and are no longer the tiny, plucky underdog with a point to prove.
I was going to talk about the ridiculous idea that is the Magic Mouse as well but Niel over at Twindie did that already and I think he summed it up nicely.

I totally agree. These ads were fun. But they should be over them by now. Really – it’s playground stuff.

Thanks for the mention!
Also saw the whole series of the ads on my flatmate’s pc the other day. It’s a novel concept, but like you said, it’s like playground squabble.

B – Why do you need to be nicer? It ruins the party :/
That is a little peevish… is that allowed though, or is advertising like that only illegal in SA?
