PC/Mac commercials

Post by ShyViolet » July 11th, 2006, 9:37 pm

I think they're really funny! It's those commercials with the really cool guy who does cool stuff with his Mac vs. the older nerdy guy who can barely do anything with his PC. (and gets colds all the time.)

I have a PC, but I think Macs are awesome. Those commercials are cool.
Funny how the PC guy looks like Bill Gates... :wink:

With the ipods, imacs, Pixar and everything else, Steve Jobs sure is one powerful guy.

Haha - Forget Pixar - Jobs is the closest thing there is to the owner of Disney!

But is he actually going to "run" all those divisions? I know he has voting power but I'm pretty sure Lassetter and Catmull have the final say on animation and Imagineering, not Jobs. How involved is Jobs going to be with the day-to-day company?

I don't think Jobs really wants to do much with Disney at all. I mean he doesnt want the salary and he doesnt want to be head of the board or whatever it was. I think he really wants to concentrate on Apple now.

What's all this about?

Jobs is Disney's biggest shareholder, plain and simple. But he's not (yet) interested in running the company, just making sure he votes to keep it heading in the right way...

Of course we talk about this but in reality we all know good and well Jobs is biding his time and in a few years Apple will buy Disney so that Jobs is CEO and cgairman Apple, Pixar (once again), and now Disney as well! The Holy Trinity of Pixar will prevail!!! ;)

Disney buying Apple, or a straight merger is more likely.

Apple Mouse, anyone? ;)

The Microsoft re-desinging the iPod packaging joke was brilliant. :)
