NYTimes running two pane Macintosh ads

Thu, 01/17/2008 - 7:18am — Cleve Nettles

The Gray Lady is joining the likes of Gizmodo and Engadget on the new advertising frontiers.

Today's New York Times website is running the Apple ads that span two panes. This one is ironically using the Wall Street Journal's touting of Leopard being "Better and Faster than Vista". John Hodgeman's PC character is seen putting up a "Not" sticker.

Our take: Mildly funny. Pedestrian.

hahahaha.....I've always been an Apple user, and it great seeing them get this kind of reputation...Even more, I like seeing how PC users get all upset about it. Anyhow, Apple has made using computers a great experience, Windows does not inspire me like Apple. Also, one thing that Windows does that Apple does not is bring unnecessary levels of frustration. Thanks!
