Just an old fart who thinks Macs should be Macs. Simply the best computers in the world, with the best OS on them.
Apple forgot that. Spreading from phones to tunes like butter over too much bread. Messing up quality. Getting infected with the WIntel virus. Shipping beta software. Losing apple keys on their way...
Guess someone has to remind them: Macs First. OK?
New iMacs - Hardware for anorexic dictators?

A guy on flickr did, what I had on my mind when I first saw the ad for the new iMacs.
See, I am really no PC guy, in none of the senses. But this slogan ("You can't be too thin. Or too powerful.") just provokes thoughts about stupid misled little "lean-addicted" (nice euphemism) ho's (that havn't even any butt left anyone would like to kneel behind), starving, ill-fed folks (still a major chunk of the stupidly ever-growing world popoulation, but most likely no Apple customers) and those creeps in politics and economy who definitely have too much power (and no butt in their suits as well. And you don't want to kneel behind them either. Nor in front of them.)
Click the pic above to see the original. I would have used different photographs, but anyhoo - still funny.
Yep - with ads it is as with other decisions. Use Intel processors - and you get OSx86. Use stupid slogans instead of specs - and get the persiflage you deserve. Drop the Apple key, and you get a revolt.
You always get what you ask for.

looks like they pulled and replaced the ad. But not because they saw how stupid each of the phrases was by itself, but because some crappy pro-ana all-pc bs-talking group started the usual "all these poooor girls will stop eating because of your ad" stuff.
