This is not the first time. They made a commercial starring Eminem that was almost identical to an old Lugz commercial. Commercial.

I am 5ing this, but Apple switching to Intel was the right thing. I don't see how doing that ruins the mac if the OS is still the same and it runs faster. You must be a special retard JimCramer. This director is silly.

It's done by the same director and it IS intended to look like it. And JimCramer, Jobs founded Apple, if you are a true fan of it you should show a little more suuport to a faster computer.

cartercommunist, the music in the ad is Moby's "God Moving Over the Face of the Waters".

perhaps they were paying homage to the original? i suppose their 1984 commercial was a rip off of Orwell... but you get a 5 for your observation in noticing this striking similarity. you must be in advertising or something.
