Les Simpsons “aiment” Apple
w3sh magazine —
Quand les Simpsons consacrent un épisode à “l’univers merveilleux” du géant du Cupertino, cela ne manque de piquant. Tout y est : Mapple, MyPod, Steve Mobs, MyCube, MyPhone, Brainiac Bar… Et les références ne manquent pas, surtout avec ce spot d’Apple qui date de 1984. L’épisode “Mypods and Boomsticks” (8ème épisode la saison 20) a été diffusé hier aux Etats-Unis, et vous pourrez en visionner un large extrait dans la vidéo ci-dessous.
Voilà qui devrait vous faire sourire en ce début de semaine, que vous soyez Mac user ou non ! ...
The Simpsons Poke Fun at Apple
Coolest Gadgets —
For almost twenty years, The Simpsons has been poking fun of American culture. Last Sunday, they satirized three things that are a long time coming: Apple, iPods, and Steve Jobs.
To product themselves from copyrights, The Simpsons called the Apple store a “Mapple store”, substituted “My” for every “i” on the most well-known Apple products, and even had an appearance by Steve Mobs (do I need to explain the joke here?).
Since a picture says a thousand words, I definitely invite readers to check out a clip of the episode (“Mypods and Broomsticks”) after the jump. What the clip doesn’t show is when Lisa gets ...
1984 Macintosh Ad Still Rocks Our Socks 25 Years Later [Apple]
Gizmodo —
Today marks the 25th anniversary of the perhaps biggest advertisement in history. One that generated millions in free coverage and still does today: 1984—presenting the Apple Macintosh—is still a gem that leaves most people speechless. The production values of this ad, created by Steve Hayden and Lee Clow at advertising agency Chiat/Day—Apple's current ad agency—and directed by Ridley Scott—director of Alien and Blade Runner—, are simply amazing. At the time, the narrative and the cinematography were a complete breakthrough, to the point of TV commentators exclaiming "What the hell was that?" after the ...

D' Technology Weblog —
Here’s the first known photo of an Apple computer running Windows 1.0 software. Yes, Mr. Bootcamp, Windows on Apple in 1983. It wasn’t a Macintosh, but an Apple II with a monochrome screen and PC emulator hardware installed. The board was called the 88 Card, “the only fully functional 8088 processor for the Apple II personcal computer” and it had the stunning list price of $899. But don’t fret, because this also included 64K of additional RAM and CP/M 86—if you wanted DOS and Windows you had to buy them separately.

Clow has been credited with thinking different on such epic Apple ads as "1984," the one that launched the Macintosh computer; the wildly popular "Mac vs. PC" and the iconic dancing silhouettes we've all come to know and love in Apple's iPod commercials.
As it turns out, Lee Clow is not stepping down, relinquishing the creative lead on the Apple account or even ...
