New magic mouse and 27" iMac

This.

I am being serious!

Did you hear the next new iMac will have a small screen on the back so you can get a 356 degree view of the screen. A revolution in computing.

Or not.

That'a not possible. You would need at least a triangular system. 180 degrees viewing angle is not possible :8.

356 degree's is possible if you had two screens (one pc like an apple mac with a screen on the back) - omg that rhymed.

Anyway

The company is awesome, what's your reasoning for Apple 'sucking'?

Their choice of advertising and marketing is terrible. In the US, their Mac adverts don't advertise anything, they just make false judgements on Windows machines. And their attitude is a bit sour, like they rarely admit something is wrong when something IS wrong, they sweep it under the mat and release any fixes with no information. They just seem snobbish and arrogant really, without reason most of the time too. I'm just glad Apple UK have a better (not amazing) attitude than in the US. Oh, and they keep releasing products which feature alot of things that should of come with the originals, and they advertise things in such a way which gives the impression they invented it or it's something amazing when in reality they're lagging behind. The iPhone is an example, and the iPod Nanos with build in radio are an example too

Don't get me wrong, the products are fine... just not the company

EDIT: Isn't a 360 degree viewing seeing a screen as a circle, while 180 is seeing the back and front? The sides lack a screen so therefore aren't included Or am I going about it the wrong way?

Microsoft had a big antitrust court case from their own government, because Microsoft bullied other companies to get rid of competition. And you call Apple bad?

I'm not saying Microsoft are perfect in comparison, but Apple appear to lie about themselves and their products, and paint a fault representation of what you are buying. They think PCs are a company, or come from one particular company, when in reality a PC is like saying "a car", there is no particular make or model, but loads of different companies. They just scream fake to me A nagging parent who makes up stuff to big up their children

Microsoft's ads made it look like 4 year olds could crop and mail photos. This is a lie.

The thing is, they're actually advertising the product. The Apple adverts don't appear to be advertising anything at all :/ That's the main difference between the two! Microsoft adverts are normal (they may "lie" to some degree, but at least advertise the product(s) like any other company) while Apple don't advertise any factor of their Macs. iPods are advertised, but Macs don't appear to be in their Mac adverts (in the US).

Macs are advertised in the Mac ads. Obviously, if they were not, Apple would have changed the campaign because the ads weren't bringing in sales.

Macs are not advertised at all in those adverts, it's just two grown men, PC and Mac. No qualities of a Mac computer are ever shown in these ads, just a name. How they bring in sales is beyond me, they're only advertising the name alongside made up facts such as PCs coming from the same company, which goes on to suggest these adverts are challenging human intelligence - how anyone can buy a computer from an advert selling nothing is beyond rational thinking. They just seem like extremist Mac fanboy ads, purely existing to insult the competition, rather than advertise what a Mac does because either Apple can't find anything to advertise or they're nervous that their systems are not that good in comparison, but will mock the competition anyway. Heck, you learn more about PCs than Macs in those adverts "PCs do this." "Well Macs don't" isn't a very clever advertising scheme You end up having to make your own judgements, and some are true.

PC is successful in his job.
Mac doesn't appear to have one.
PC has a loving family.
Mac doesn't mention a family.
PC is polite.
Mac doesn't carry big boxes for women, he merely stands there slagging off or making dull, passing comments

They're just terrible advertisements, which is why I think Apple are a dull company and I will never do business with them. It's a shame, because their products would be appealing if the company behind them wasn't so lame and pathetic :/

The latest one, Broken Promise, advertises nothing :/ Infact, it has no factual information and is pure scepticism - how do Apple know that Windows 7 will be terrible? They don't, but they're happy to **** off the company Yet they don't mention the guest account problem, which is lol worthy.
