    Well we have the thread of Micrsofts Comercial So why not have some of Apples older comercials.

    Of course there's the one that's been claimed as the best commercial ever.

    Ahh, the good, old, creative ads. 1984 is an epic piece... whatever happened to that notion, Think Different and 1984 - look at the iPhone nowadays. Yeah, where did that go?

    Those were good, cool ads. The current ones would be, too, but they dwelve to heavily into social stereotypes (hipster vs. suit man), feed on lack of knowledge and don't hold onto truth as they should.

    I wish they'd change their ad style with something truly creative, and not reminiscient of the Ministry of Propaganda.
