There's a new ad in the long running series of Mac vs PC commercials. The format is as follows: Mac is young effortless cool and the PC is all old man fumbly ineptitude.
In this latest installment, the PC wants to know if PCs will "ever work the way they should." The PC hops inside his time machine and bounces 150 years in the future. Not surprisingly, we find that PCs in the future still freeze.
The ad has a point: finding a reliable computer can be challenging. You know what's even more challenging? Reliable time travel.
Here's what Apple advertising execs thought when they watched their ad: "PCs don't work. Everyone should buy a Mac." Here's what I thought: "Holy shiiiiit. Microsoft makes a time machine! I'm going to touch a dinosaur."
Look. I'm not going to buy a car that only works half the time, but if that same car only drives me to places where people are handing out fresh sandwiches and free money, I'll use my broken car downtime to eat fresh sandwiches and invest in time machines.
