In my ongoing battle against the Microsoft Laptop Hunter ads, Microsoft has given me more reasons to complain with their latest ad. This time around it features a lady named Sheila who is looking for a computer for under $2,000 that will help her with her video editing. She ends up getting an HP HDX, but not before mentioning that MacBooks only come with 2GB RAM standard for under $2,000. Throughout the whole ad, her only real argument is that the PC she purchased has a larger screen size, which is nice for editing.

While surfing Engadget, I noticed a new Apple Ad that I don’t believe has been seen before.

It features two ad spaces, one a banner at the top of the page and one a rectangle at the side. PC and Mac are standing in the rectangle looking up at the banner which features a quote from a review of Vista. PC doesn’t like what it says and so opens a door and pulls a “banner refresh” lever. Hilarity ensues when after 3 pulls of the lever, a positive review quote comes up… of Leopard.

Video after the break.

Apple has released a new web ad which is their best yet. It consists of a large side ad with a banner at the top with the quote “Leopard is better and faster than Vista” – The Wall Street Journal in it.

The ad opens with PC climbing up a ladder and Mac inquiring about what he is doing. PC answers that the New York Times should proofread it’s ads, and that the quote in the banner is clearly a typo. PC then breaks through the top of the side ad and into the banner ad and staples up a sign saying “NOT” to the end of the quote. He then tells Mac to bring the ladder; he is going to correct the whole internet.
