New Apple Ad... Ain't it Cool?
Last night, I was talking to Quint, who was stunned that I still hadnt seen SPIDER-MAN. Anybody that knows me has been stunned. It is simply way out of character that the weekend had passed and I hadnt seen SPIDER-MAN.
I told him that my recent trip to New York to shoot a commercial for Apple was partly responsible. I did have an offer from a reader while I was up there to see the film in New York, but I wanted to see SPIDER-MAN with my father and my best movie-going buddy.
Matt followed up with an email to Harry, with this response:
"It is a series of television commercials. Or so I understand, shot by the Academy Award winning documentarian Errol Morris!"

A series of commercials? Makes me think that maybe were going to see the replacement to the "Think Different" campaign. What do you all think?

It's not likely to be an Apple-branded popcorn maker.
After reading Ain't It Cool News occasionally over the past few years, it's painfully obvious that Harry likes to puff himself up, so I'm sure he'll let something slip to you.
(The fact that he mentioned that the commercials are being shot by an Acadamy Award winning film-maker is an example of his puffery. He likes to look important, and he also likes to be a scooper.)
Why would Apple be advertising professional equipment to the typical tv-watching consumer-machine buying individual?
I figure it'll be a replacement for 'Think Different'.

and so on.
