Yes they were. They were brilliant in creating a direct divide between the "old" PC generation and the new hip Apple crowd.
Compare the message of PC vs. Mac to this message: "We have tools. Tools that work. Oh, and you need a genius to use them right" ?
- pjmlp 14y ago> We have tools. Tools that work Not if it is XCode.
- wsc981 14y agoWhat's wrong with Xcode? Seems fine for iOS / Mac OS X development. I surely prefer it above Eclipse and it is in some ways also nicer as Visual Studio.
- pjmlp 14y agoKeeps crashing all the time. That is not a tool that "works".
- wsc981 14y agoI can't say I share your experience. For my Xcode has been pretty stable, though I will admit it's not a perfect product.
- activepeanut 14y agoI use the latest Xcode day to day. Xcode is not the kind of tool you can push. If you paint outside the lines, it'll crash.
- Steko 14y agoThe Switch ads were entertaining but not effective. The Mac and PC adds were slightly better in both departments but generally not seen as in the league of the iPod and iPhone commercials. The Genius ads seem like more of the same. To me the only Mac computer ad that has stood out in the last decade or so has been the MBA out of the envelope commercial.
- DeepDuh 14y agoI found the Retina MBP ad to be perfectly executed. Straight up, product centered, beautifully shot, nicely synched with music to give an emotional punch. Better than most of the newer iPhone / iPad ads IMO.
