It’s Official: Apple Jumps the Shark
After Microsoft released its wonderful “I’m a PC” advertisements, I wondered what was next for Apple. After all, it’s ingenuous and libelous “I’m a Mac, I’m a PC” ads were instantly rendered moot by Microsoft’s more human and humble ads. How could Apple respond and not look like a bunch of arrogant jerks.
Answer: They can’t. And they won’t. It’s in their DNA.
So they’ve responded with a new “I’m a Mac, I’m a PC” ad that is both ingenuous and libelous, and once again they come off looking like a bunch of arrogant jerks.

I love how the idiots in the response thread to Paul’s post tries to stink up the whole thing.
I mean, who the heck cares about what they say? I know a whole lot more people care about what Paul says, INCLUDING THOSE FLAMMERS! LOLZ!

Hi,
Opinions are like *****, everyone’s got one, no one likes to look at the other guys. I don’t think calling anyone a jerk or arrogant is going to drive traffic to your site. Tweakhound will be removed from my bookmarks and rss feeds.

1 – I didn’t call anyone anything. It is a quote from Paul Thurrott (see the little quote box???).
2 – He didn’t call them anything either. He said they “look like a bunch of arrogant jerks”.
3 – Have a nice day.
