They have changed this because of the Japanese culture. Because it is rude to brag about one's strengths, that's their belief (:

The Amercian ads sends the message across correctly -- PC nerd vs MAC edgy hip.
It doesn't seem to work in Japan. PC guy looks like MAC guy's employer. PC guy looks powerful.

what kind of pants is mac wearing

Haha, this has Japanese thinking written all over it.
It's not really explainable in english... It relies on the Japanese language, presisely why dubs fail at any humor.

I was a PC user up till 4 m ago. I could build them fix them didnt matter what was wrong blue screen of death you name it, but at the end of the day all I really wanted was something that works. If you buy a brand new car you dont want to have to open up the hood and tinker with stuff just to get it running

Wasn't the point of the advertising that the mac looks "cooler" than the Pc? But with all Japanese looking the same this is a classic advertisement-Fail. lol ^^'

Well, I guess that is fine. I'm still going to stick to the PCs though, enjoy your Mac. :)

I've been using Macs for my whole life. I have also been using PCs for about half as long (in school and such). For the things that I use the computer for, a Mac suits my purposes better. For others, PCs suit their needs. Everyone has different needs, so for you, PCs are better than Macs, but for me it is the opposite. Both systems have advantages and disadvantages over each other, and neither is better than the other.

what they are talking about?
Mac: That's because everyone uses me in private at home, so it's easier to be my friend.
PC: I see, I only have business acquaintances though, I want to be called something too.
Mac: Well, since work acquaintances are your thing, how about we call you Work (Waaku in Japanese. Mac is Makku, therefore this a pun LOLOLZ)?
PC: Makku (Mac), and Waaku(work)! Makku (Mac)!

PC: Hello, I'm a PC
Mac: Hello, I'm a Mac
PC: Huh? Aren't you a PC too?
Mac: Yes, but everyone calls me Mac.
PC: As if you're special or something, like a friend.
