I agree 100%! Here’s a eulogy I wrote for Apple ads:

I want to use Siri, but I simply could not get used to the microphone button appearing on the keyboard after 5 years. I would hit it 5 times a day and go into that other mode and it would beep and shut off the music I’m working on. I had to turn off Siri just to get the keyboard back.

Mac vs PC was so good because they captured real problems. They should do iPad vs PC now that Windows is no longer available in the high-end market.

JL, you would have loved the commotion at Intel one day in the late ’90s. Apple came out with those ads with the Pentium Processor riding on top of a snail. Everyone looked just feeble and injured.

@ Mike Cane: Sorry about the typo in your name, I’m obviously a poor typist…

Jeff Goldblum’s imac ads were pretty great at the time, targeting new-to-mac consumers who valued ease-of-use.

>>>a first for Apple if memory serves

No. I panned the Siri ads too and was reminded by a Commenter that Jeff Goldblum had been in an ad (probably others too). These were the ones where someone just speaks to the camera and had that girl that went viral before we called it viral.
