I enjoy logging on to Apple’s website once in a while and checking out the new ads they have. I love the attitude of these ads. They make a point apart from being funny and not to mention, witty. But there’s another side to these ads as well. It bothers me that Apple advertises it’s product by putting down it’s competitor, Microsoft. I mean, the ads are great but Apple can always advertise about how wonderful it is rather than telling people how bad their competitor is. Just a thought.
Here’s a cartoon I found based on Apple ads:

Hi Aaina…thanks for stopping by on the ‘almost dead’ blog:) I used to read your blog regularly, until you took a sabbatical. Anyways, I am on a break myself these days….have a lot to write, but missing that motivation that would drive me to sit & type about my thoughts.
Anyways, coming to your topic, I myself love these ads. However on the contrary, I actually love the way they have made competitive advertisement a tool to promote their product. I think they really pick on the right things that Microsoft is doing wrong. Let’s face it, in an attempt to bring new products in the market, Microsoft is making its customer’s life way too complicated. Have you used the Vista??? What a waste!!!
