This is so prophetic! The couple is ignoring each other to look at their screen, just like today.

The newspaper industry was advice to go digital, but being such dinosaurs they are dying because they dont got it

I found pretty amazing that I am watching this video on a tablet. We are living the 90's future!

What about those worker riots at the iphone factories in china? Or do you not talk about that?

I think you maybe reading into advertising part too much, in fact every company does its best to create a "legend" for themselves (look at Nike, Coca Cola etc)

Apple products speak for themselves, yes, some things are flawed, but over all aesthetics of their products are unrivaled in the category, and they did push the industry a lot.

To explain aesthetics: chainlink fence does the same job as a nice wooden fence—yes its cheaper but it looks like shit.

Most people choose chainlink :(

this is ridiculous. The F700 and the iphone were essentially developed in parallel, designs were months apart from each other. But THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM (besides, the iphone was better)! The amount of evangelism and marketing claims (from design myths claimed post fact to the Steve Jobs super-human claims and idolization) simply hasn't been performed by any other company in human history, save the Catholic Church!

Samsung F700 was never seen until February of 2007... so all the Samsung propaganda should end.

this is another matter completely. I'm not talking about the product per se, and if a user should buy it or not (I've owned and ipad BTW). My problem is the urban legends, the hyperbole, the hypocrisy, the lies, etc. I just don't like listening to myths and lies, I have the same disdain for Apple's exceptionally untruthful marketing talk and legend building, as I have for conspiracy theories and fundamentalist religion. It's the same thing. The organised evangelism is my problem, not the product

Maybe this is all true what you say, but honestly, which customer cares about it. If you dont like a effcient Prius, you won´t buy one. Simple as it is. Nothing to think or complain about. I don´t care what Apple users pay for, who has the market under control, or who reinvented the wheel. Why should i, as a simple user, take care about it. At least the user controls the market. They can provde features as much they want, if their products get too expensive, they will go under, sooner or later..

Screwing Employees since 1938, be proud Samsung Fanboys!

I know you were joking, but Apple does have a patent on the turning-pages animation in iBooks. It's a crazy world.
