If Apple would still build Macs with soul (i.e. anything before 2002) it wouldn't need a campaign to tell how great they are.

#22That's all I can add to this short movie: http://m.cdn.blog.hu/ap/appleblog/image/doghouse-comic.png (I am happy to be downvoted for the joke, so just keep going :) )
The only good reason to burn karma is for the lulz.

#23Forty Years of Unix!
I love writing in C and compiling on OS X, Linux and FreeBSD with the same Makefile!

#24"Everyone is using this one system" - you're still not fooling anyone Apple. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_system...
This is true for creative industries (which the video is all about). Most design studios, musicians, 3D artists, etc, use Macs.

#26Weird. It's the first time I see an Apple use an actual webfont instead of pictures—and it won't load for me.

#27I am not asking all the names but who are those people behind the various macs?
Pretty sure the musician is Moby.

#29How come people talk about 30 years of Mac but no one talks about 25+ years of Windows or Linux for that matter. I saw numerous blog posts of parroting this advertisement, even in my morning daily commute news paper.
This is normal.
They are the poster boy for a corporation despite having screwed up incredibly so many times over the years, nearly fallen off a cliff and treating their customers like crap ("you're holding it wrong" for example) and still only maintaining a minority market share on the desktop and handset market. Also they have several system architectures and complete API rewrites over the years that mean their client-base rewriting the entire universe every time they move the goalposts.
For comparison:
MSDOS is 32 years old. Stuff still runs from day one.
Windows is actually 28 years old. Stuff still compiles from day one (windows' original API isn't much different to today's windows). Stuff still runs from circa 1995 on current machines.
Unix is 45 years old. Stuff still compiles and runs from circa 1974.

People did celebrate the 20 years of Linux, back in 2011: http://content.linuxfoundation.org/20th/
The thing is, Linux doesn't have the PR machine that Apple does, nor the number of fans among journalists, nor the recognition by the public.
