Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

There probably are quite a few people who buy Macs for the shiny - but I would posit that those are the same people who would be better off with a Mac- because it's more forgiving to people who don't know what the hell they are doing. "It just works".



Having said that- Macs are also a machine for hardcore internet geeks. Here's a picture from 2 days ago - the lobby of the Googleplex and the Reddit engineers trying to figure out why their site is down. Macs "just work" for these guys too.

What's an example of people who would be better off with non-apple products - but still buy Apple?
All the people who buy Macs, because they have no idea
a) what kind of computer they need
b) what that computer should cost
I see it alot at work. People buying $1000 PCs to read their emails and do spreadsheets. They don't obtain any real information. Instead they watch TV and go "Ohhh look at that mac, it's so sleek and shiny. Apparently all the young hipsters and Justin Long are using them." I'm not saying apple products don't have their merits, but that's not what people buy them for anymore. Nowadays they're just status symbols, a sleek presentation with little content or innovation to back it up. $35 white earplugs with terrible, terrible sound.
I know you buy Apple products because you just like them for what they are and maybe because you've been using them for a long time, but that's not the M.O. of the average Apple customer (anymore).

Are there new Mac commercials other than the ones with Justin Long because, as far as I can tell, he ain't black. He's as white as a wedding dress.

Looked decent until Justin Long appeared.

Looks insanely bad to me. Also, I can't fucking stand Justin Long. And EDD, oldschool wibe? Where?

Justin long is one of my fave comics. He's the doctor in this scene, and Justin in Dodgeball.
