I think I'm in love...I, who have never had any time for adverts of any kind, who believe they are pesky, interfering things I can easily do without, am in love with the adverts by Apple Mac. They are just brilliant and are saturated everywhere. If nothing else, they are guaranteed to draw attention.

Apple Mac hit upon the idea some time ago of using humans to represent PCs and Macs with awesome appeal! My favourite adverts come in three different types depicting various problems with the PCs while the very 'cool' Mac maintains its lofty distance above it all. This is against a backdrop of very pleasing music. I find myself just repeatedly clicking on them, watching and smiling with smug pride. Perhaps it is because I have been a Mac user for over 16 years, I know that Apple Mac is not just talking hot air. Its reliability and professionalism, not to mention support, is legend. The current G5 I am using is out of this world with efficiency, security and simplicity. It does NOT crash, there are NO viruses and the smooth integration with other stuff means that one does not have to be a nerdy geek or a technology boffin to understand or appreciate it fully!

I never thought I would LOVE to see an advert and would want to play it over and over again, but at this rate of watching them, I haven't had the time to write about them!! I have even compared the American versions with the British ones, which use Mitchell and Webb from Channel 4 TV's Peep Show, and we win hands down. Our adverts are so cooool and funny. Perhaps the American ones try to be too clever. Their Mac guy might appeal to men but he does nothing for me. :o( I love the way the British Mac guy (Webb) is sooooo handsome too with the high drool factor!! Gosh, what smile and dimples! Yummmeeeee! I am sure their show on Channel 4 has had a record number of new watchers. I have been watching it ever since I first saw them as PC and Mac, when I wasn't even aware of who they were before.

As I said, I am soooo in love in with those ads! If Mac had paid for per click advertising with Google, I alone would have clicked out all their money just to keep seeing the adverts!! They make my mornings, big time. Now, who would have thought some simple adverts could do that? Must be because Valentine's day 2008 is almost here and there is no man in sight? :o)

What did they say about simplicity? Keep it going Mac. Your computers are ace and you're definitely on to a winner!

What's this?

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I have always liked Apple, but I got caught up in the Microsoft craze.

Just as a point of clarification I believe the company's name is Apple, Inc. If you want to be a techno-geek you have to have your terminology down!

Ms CYPRAH

Thanks for the clarification, jstament, but being a techno-geek doesn't sit well with my extrovert personality. So I will stick with the sloppy but effective Apple Mac, which is much more user friendly and graphic. :o)
