I've seen them for the 12" and 17" PowerBooks, new G5, when the G4 crossed over the 1GHz barrier (that was with the war thing, and the "Pentium PCs: well, they're harmless"), lots of different iPods, new iMac and iMovie. All on TV.
I think this is why Apple has poor sales, cause they never advertise their products!!! Very few people even consiter a Mac over here. There are very few Mac's in schools here too. My high school, for example, I've only seen an LII and an LC 575. All the rest are PC's running Windows 2000.
trpnmonkey...that is definitly the best ad....i love the music by steriogram...you know that iMac in the window ad was AWESOME...say does anybody have a working link for that one?
Wasn't there a commercial somethink like a train or something and there was a PC and a Mac both doing some kind of process? I can't remember.. I think it was funny though.. wasn't it?
I hate that my mouse stops responding to clicks properly, it just unselects the finder window or app when i click and if i click on them they dont select until i bring force quit menu up with keyboard shortcuts.. basically its REALLY annoying
Psychology works a lot better. Apple don't need to advertise it's products like the other's do. They may only advetise a new product to get people interested. If your a compulsive TV addict(s), you'll see the Apple logo and various Macintoshes making cameo appearances in all sorts of things from non apple commericials to TV series such as CSI and 24, on to movies in the big screen.
You'll find about 60-70% of musicians and actors will do their stuff on a Mac, also found in many professional recording studios around the world... So why waste money on advertising when endorsements from the movie industry is just as effective?
