Apple just released 3 new Mac vs. PC ads...

Funny how they fail to mention that it has an irritating habit of
falling off all the time.

it does? that's the first I've ever heard of it... actually, it sticks
quite well... you haven't used it Mayor, admit it.

Angel/Devil

Funny how they fail to mention that Picassa, the inspiration for
iPhoto, is free and Windows and Linux only.

Picasa? iPhoto?... you mean Picassa came long after iPhoto was around,
iPhoto has been around since 2002, and runs circles around Picasa.

Only if you believe that Picasa didn't exist before Google bought it.
Obviously it did.

Trust Mac

Laughable at best.

Once again Apple is failing to capitalize on what they've got. Instead
they sit in the back of the room and take cheap shots at the popular
kids. They've got a real chance to bring in more people since they're
offering the ability to run Windows on their machines. Instead they
make snotty ads that play up Maccies' myths and lies. Preaching to the
choir doesn't make the church grow.

Nah, Apple has every right to poke fun at an inferior platform.

Clearly Apple has the right to make almost any kind of ad they want.
The question is - is a snotty ad that uses half truths and lies to
attack a competitor the best kind of ad for them. I'd say 'no'. All
the current ads do is preach to the Maccie choir.

Apple
will never have to worry about viruses or spyware since they built an OS
that does not allow for those types of issues.

LOL! Save some Kool-Aid for later there son! Actually several exploits
have been discovered. There have even been some with proof of concept
code floating around. No one cared enough to exploit them. Its pretty
clear to the thinking man that Apple's 'security' is mainly apathy on
the part of hackers due to its low marketshare.


Apple always tells the truth in advertising,

Actually Apple hardly ever tells the truth in its ads.

it's just that windows users get mad because the
truth hurts.

What truth? Where do you see an Apple ad that's true?
