Steve Jobs was a genious because he managed to sell crap at such high prices.Keep buying it, you chimps.

[MrLqlqlq]

@romanov77 crap is what you have in your skull instead of brains. Keep using shitty Windows and speak of crap, genius...

[romanov77]

@MrLqlqlq

I don't use windows. I won't even bother explaining to you what kind of OS I use because as macboy you would hardly understand. Go away and keep enjoying your overpriced sexually ambiguous junk. And I am not talking just about "software" junk, but also "hardware" junk.

Hard to mourn a person who crammed so much innovation into so brief a life...

I suspect Jobs perceived everyone around him as moving in slo-mo...

Very soon, Heaven will function more efficiently, with more fun, and with more cool stuff.

That would have been hilarious if the hammer missed the screen. Would have made my fucking life.

1984 was the worst year ever.

[TileGuyJesse]

Ridley Scott directed. Killer!

[EvilPlot558]

motorola ad is an awesome spoof.

[Iceeeen]

And today Apple has become exactly what they hated that year.

[jezman1976]

@Iceeeen hehe...

[Revoks]

My question is this: How exactly is macintosh relevant to a totalitarian state with 24 hour surveilance?

[roo7227]

@Revoks It's not... It's a play on George Orwell's masterpiece novel '1984,' which you obviously have never read (or you would have gotten the reference).. You should check it out, it's a fairly quick read..

[Revoks]

@roo7227

You're an idiot... I got the reference, I just didn't get what Apple had to do with it!

[roo7227]

@Revoks Apple didn't have anything to do with it, genius... The ad came out in 1984.. But I'm the idiot, right?.. lol..

[Revoks]

@roo7227 It's an apple ad! Jesus!

[roo7227]

@Revoks And many commercials will adhere to popular culture, in order to sell merchandise.. Just like you saw "recount" commercials for Pizza Hut, after (or during.. lol) the 2000 election.. I agree with your overall premise, that advertisements should be about the product, but it's not always so..

[MrLqlqlq]

@roo7227 it IS an Apple ad from 1984. I leave the math who is the idiot to you...

[roo7227]

@MrLqlqlq No, no.. I'm explaining, or trying to explain to the guy that the content of the commercial isn't about Apple, or any particular product, in particular, as much as it is trying to capitalize upon popular iconic references of George Orwell's book, '1984'.. He seems to have issues with that, even though it is a often used advertising strategy..

[roo7227]

@MrLqlqlq Lemme be clear.. The guy I was speaking with, originally, thought the commercial had nothing to do with Apple's products, and I agreed with him, but explained that sometimes companies will use popular, iconic references in advertising, that have nothing to do with their particular product, because of timing, or a particular event has happened.. The ad came out in 1984, and many people were reading that book, that year.. I understand it's an Apple ad, I saw it when it aired..

[jamesschader]

Okay so it was aired during the super bowl, was it aired on the same channel as the super bowl?

[GeneralDigital06074]

One of the best commercials ever made.

[ElisVlog]
