this is so funny.
(via Macs Used To Help Make New Microsoft Ad)
Uh-oh. It’s been discovered that some of the images used in Microsoft’s new ‘I’m a PC’ commercial were created with Macs.
Four of the images that Microsoft made available on its PressPass site today display the designation “Adobe Photoshop C3 Macintosh” when their file properties are examined. The images appear to be frames from the television ads that Microsoft will launch later today. One of the images is of a real Microsoft engineer, identified only as “Sean,” who resembles John Hodgman, the actor who plays the PC character in Apple Inc.’s iconic ads.Well seeing how Microsoft hired ad agency Crispin Porter + Bogusky to create the commercials, it’s not surprising that they were using Macs since there wasn’t a “no Macs” clause in the agreement. Probably should have been though. I told you to let me handle the law, Microsoft, I’m mad legal. Ha, well technically I’m 17, but I have a good fake. On a side note, today is International Talk Like A Pirate Day, so get out there and avast, ye maties and whatever the hell else pirates do.* *Raping unacceptable, pillaging fine. Microsoft’s ‘I’m a PC’ ad images made on Macs [computerworld] Thanks to Stephen and Huggy Bear, who are both half PC, half Mac, but 100% pirate.
