<<The "this" in the above sentence refers to a person setting him or herself apart from "others" (read: normal people), though I don't know that this really reflects the true spirit of the ad. Rather, I read "Think Different" as a call for a society full of people who think for themselves rather than strive for the status quo.>> Apple is the last company that could EVER align themselves with this thinking. They ARE the status quo. They're just another computer company, subject to losses, bad management and layoffs of employees. No different. Personally, I find it laughable that they could do an ad like this and leave out Bill Gates! From Harvard drop out to the richest man in America with one of the all time greatest selling products ever created. If that doesn't separate him from "normal people", I don't know what does! But let's leave Mr. Jobs alone, he's having fun in his unique little world and I would never want to break the news to him that things over here in the status quo aren't too bad.
