Apple Releases New 'Get a Mac', iPod Touch, and iPod Nano Ads
The newest "Get a Mac" commercial, entitled PC Innovation Lab and posted yesterday to Apple's ad gallery, highlights several of Apple's technological innovations, including MagSafe power connectors and extended-life batteries. In contrast, Hodgman's "PC" character introduces several new tongue-in-cheek PC innovations, which include an "air-cushioned enclosure" and a "new, extremely long cord".
The other two commercials, introduced during Apple's "It's Only Rock and Roll" media event on Wednesday, have also been posted to their respective ad galleries. Apple's Next Level Fun commercial highlights gaming on the iPod touch by displaying a series of games, including several multiplayer scenarios, in quick succession. The new iPod nano commercial, entitled Nano Shoots Color, shows off the new device's video camera capabilities while also demonstrating the wide variety of available color options.

and Apple needs to stop releasing beta products. with SL they probably set a record of the fastest service pack release after a product release. They probably had the update in development and released SL just for sales.
And same with the iphone. ITunes 9 and 3.1 which should have been the shipping firmware were probably in development when the 3GS shipped and they released it as is to ship it in June
i like my iphone, but i doubt i'll buy a Mac unless the hardware is a bit more powerful
Not surprising coming from a "newbie". You also write on your last post "i like my iphone, but it doesn't make me want to go out and pay a premium for a Mac" -- are you a paid poster?
Good luck running Snow Leopard on your PC.

My astroturfer detector is going nuts... Microsoft needs to train their minions better than this.

Well, I've never seen a product that did ship bug-free. Any computer science class will tell you that maintenance updates are a normal part of the software development cycle. Snow Leopard was hardly a beta.. it's definitely better than Leopard and none of the bugs were critical (just Flash was.. odd). Kudos to Apple for getting 10.6.1 out the door so fast.
And hardware? You know you can get a Mac Pro configured with as much as two 2.93Ghz Quad-Core Xeon processors, 32GB of 1066MHz DDR3 processors, right? What are you doing that requires more than that?
These ads are extremely funny... in how they upset people and make them critical.
hate to break it to you kid, but most of the world wants to SEE the product in action, not be talk to by a guy whos still a virgin and another who had too many big macs.
The point of an ad is to SELL the item, not be entertained. If you want entertainment watch late night TV

You seem to be commenting on a product that you do not have (Mac & SL), can you tell us what makes you an expert on these products?
When you state power you probably refering to the ability to run GAMES at maximum speed. Macs are for more than computer games, and with the changes made by SL for the support of multiple cores and GPU's it makes the Macs pretty powerful and allow each application to use many more than 4 Gigs of Memory. The number of third party application running in 64 bit mode is rapidly increasing and the 32 bit versions are still around in the mean time.
Power is not just measured in FPS.
MagSafe has been around since 2006, and Apple has only just now decided it's a good enough selling point to put in an ad..?!
They were in an ad then. The one with PC in a leg cast and wheelchair.
