HomeI’m sure many of you have seen the new commercial where the new Mac is so thin, that it fits nicely into a manila envelope, maybe 8.5×11 inches. It’s not important enough for me to look up the stats, only to reference the tv ad. There is an eerie tune that plays under the commercial, we hear the lyrics repeated again and again:
I’m a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout how to give and take
I heard somewhere that the lyrics weren’t written for the commercial, but were part of a longer song. I finally heard the whole song Thursday night on one of the NBC lateshows. The artist, Yael Naim, has an unusual style of singing. I don’t think I could listen day in and day out, but I like the song. YouTube seems to have a lot of clips of the song, feel free hop over there and search for New Soul, by Yael Naim. I had to laugh when I finally heard all the lyrics, especially the rest of the first part that I posted above.
Hoping I could learn a bit bout how to give and take
But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake
Apple is not known for wanting to learn how to give and take with anyone. They have kept their architecture private and are strict about licensing others to manufacture it. It’s not always a bad thing. Apple can control quality of parts, but they artificially keep the prices extremely high in comparison to PC choices by limiting it.
Back to my original point, I especially enjoyed the last line about mistakes. How true it is, how true it is. For those of you that read my blog from a Mac, yes I know you are out there, you know me better than to be criticizing your choice. It’s not the choice that I would make. I am currently running an XP box, but am also downloading the newest UbuntuStudio to reinstall. I say whatever works, just be honest in your advertising about how your product will actually perform and how much it will cost to have the fruit emblazened on the lid.
