    Apple 20 Years of Macintosh - '1984' Ad (QT)

    Admittedly I may be a tad biased as a Mac user but, IMO this ad has to be one of the most brilliant ever. Apple re-released it after Steve Jobs played it during his keynote speech at MacWorld Expo this morning. Here are direct links ..

    not really a good representaion of the world of "1984".

    Dosent really make much sense either.

    I have to vote "thumb down". but thanks for the link.

    i also don't like this "tweaked" version featuring an ipod.

    i'd rather have them create a new ad for their 20th anniversary, maybe in the style of the 1984 ad, but to simply change it isn't that creative to me.
    btw: who really wants to buy this new mini ipod feat a 2gb drive for 249$??
    somebody told me you have a boyfriend who looks like a girldfriend that i had in february of last year the killers

    iPod runs on FireWire.
    iPod looks much sexier than that Zen thing.
    iPod's Battery issues have been resolved.
    A 4GB iPod for 249 is a ripoff.
    Are you a Mexi-CAN or a Mexi-CAN'T?
