You know those new commercials with the fat geeky guy and the
skinny dorky guy and the jap chick. I am wondering why apple
feels obligated to lie and suggest that a mac can communicate
with digital camera's that pc's can't communicate with.

Maybe because Apples can communicate with cameras that PCs can't.
You misspelled cameras and PCs, the apostrophes indicate
possessive singular nouns, and Apple is capitalized, being a
proper noun.

Which cameras are these, exactly?

Oh, and the ad implies that PCs can't work with Japanese digital
cameras, *in general*, which is a lie.


Actually, no. It says *explicitly* "that new digital camera from
Japan" (singular and specific).

singular, yes. specific, no. obviously meant to imply a general
issue though.

You are apparently unfamiliar with the meaning of the English word,
"that".

no, i'm not- but you apparently aren't familiar with the meaning of
'specific':
1. Explicitly set forth; definite. See Synonyms at explicit.
