Advertise!

How's this for a TV ad? It starts out with the camera on a monitor playing a Microsoft ad, then as the shot pulls back slowly, it shows a computer operator is working on the ad in Final Cut Pro.
The ultimate irony is that probably all of Microsoft's TV commercials and most of their print ads are done with Macs.
An Apple store opened outside of Memphis last month, but I haven't seen any advertising for it. The only publicity came from Apple's battles with the rednecks on the Germantown Design Review Committee over their signage. They don't care about Communist documents like the First Amendment in Germantown. I was hoping Apple would sue Germantown, but commerce came first, and they compromised.

And where are the commercials in Europe? Once a month I see a commercial of the "new" iBook on National Geographic and some dutch tv-stations...
There are NO apple-stores in Europe... OK, there are IT-Pro's (little-mini-stores of apple) but mostly there are products that are out of date (they don't have mac os x on all example-computers in the store!!! and certainly not Macos 10.1..... bah, hate it)

So I say to Apple: Please open some stores in Europe and more commercials on tv and in the streets of europe please, thank you....

ever watch TechTV? It's on some digital cable and my DrecTV network.

The main work area is a few computers sharing one or two monitors (i can't remember exactly haow many). Thing is, they smush the mac between all the PCs.

AND! I have yet to see anything about OS X on TechTV. I know a lot of people watch it. Help by sending emails to them to showcase more Mac produstc (they have on ocassion talked about this or that mac innovation but then it's back to Wintel. I know a couple of people on the show are mac fans due to comments made in the past and little things they trow in.

If you get TechTV, watch the show and email them! I haven't checked yet, but I'm sure they have a web site.

Funny thing is that whenever they've done a story on some new company or trend, the people interviewed or showcased are almostv always on macs. But there is never any mention of that.

I rarely get a chance to watch it, but every Mac bit i've seen in the past 3-4 months has been in MacOS X. Also, The Cube on Drew Carrey's (former) desk is running OS X, and tonight's (Wednesday 12-19-01) episode showed the dock magnification in action! And I saw a Comcast commercial where all the easily seen window close-ups were Mac (OS 9) and there was someone on a TiBook in it. i think everyone else does subliminal advertising for Apple, it just doesn't work as well as one might think.
