These ads are really starting to get tiring. When they first started the Get A Mac ad campaign, even as a windows user, I have to say, I did chuckle a bit. They were funny. Now they're just really rather weak and quite irritating. Furthermore, they give no reason to buy a mac, they fling mud at their competitors but actually do nothing to advertise or pimp out their own product. Big thumbs down.


Test markets are already getting a new series of Apple Ads which, I feel, are much more appropriate for the current market, highlighting Apple's Innovations and successes instead of traditional PC Failures.

Heh... I haven't visited this thread in a while. It's obvious that while the "Get a Mac" ads are annoying they are as amusing and uninformed as many of the responses posted here. Apple designs their own CPUs? Ok... The only thing Apple designs is marketing and cases and they probably contract that out as well.

Actually, as stated above, Apple works with it's partners to design and engineer components to best fit the needs of Apple and it's custom designs.

Also, for the record, Apple Designs all of it's manufactured parts internally, they have several teams internally made up of some of the most talented designers in the business to do that for them. (Cases / Power Adapters / Keyboards / Mice)

Although it's obvious that Apple designs their own motherboard/graphics card etc, I highly doubt they have any contribution towards latest intel/nvidia/ATi processors. As I said, it's not any more than what Microsoft/Dell/others do with intel etc.

Actually Apple provided more than a few resources toward the development of the Core 2 Duo (Micro) processor used in the MacBook Air.
