>I noticed on CNBC today that Apple is advertising the new Yosemites. Has anyone seen this commercial displayed in a prime-time spot ...?< Saw in on "The Praçtiçe" last night. Sound quality of the ad was off -- did anyone else get that too? ---------------------------------- Note: The "Thus Sprach Zarathustra" music opening from "2001, A Space Odyssey" creates a motif for the HAL/Y2K spot reportedly to be shown at the Superbowl kickoff: apple.com BTW, the SuperBowl/Y2K spot was twice predicted on this thread by your friendly local soupster: >With corporations spending hundreds of millions to billions to fix their Y2K problems, I was struck by AAPL's recent SEC filing that it will spend less than 10 million to fix its own Y2K problems. With NeXT/Openstep's ability to reuse existing data and applications, they have a real Y2K solution for many companies. Because the symmetry of its first "1984" Super Bowl spot so compelling my prediction for the lead of this year's spot is: "Why 2000 wont be like 1900."< exchange2000.com That was before the HAL spot was shown at MacWorld, and afterwards I posted: >The HAL 9000/Y2K opening spot was scary. Very scary. As in "scare-the-peanuts-out-of-your-M&Ms" scary. Did we just see the SuperBowl spot? Will we have to look up while passing office buildings for fear of Dells being tossed out of CEO's windows?< exchange2000.com I never lie and I'm always right. :)
