Intel upset with new Apple ad

Intel is upset with its new dance partner, Apple, over a TV ad (you can see it here) which says:
Quote:

“The Intel chip: for years, it’s been trapped inside PCs, inside dull little boxes, dutifully performing dull little tasks, when it could have been doing so much more. Starting today, the Intel chip will be set free and get to live life inside a Mac. Imagine the possibilities.”

Apparently Intel only got a peek a short time before the initial showing of the ad, at Macworld. “Never would we characterize our customers that way,” Intel Vice President Deborah Conrad said in an interview.

Lol too bad it's true!! Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy
And anyway, the commercial is talking about the PCs - not the people using them.

this ad is serious....it must have affected apple stock a lot. Dull tasks! All i can remember about using macs was that they were only used at school. I asked my computer teacher why they used macs and not pcs like the ones i had at home. By the way this was in gr.8 and i still remember this many years from then. He said because they are a lot cheaper and come in one piece so we can store more of them in this room. Back then atleast they forze a lot and you had to take a paper clip and restart them from a hole on the top of the mac. So 50% of the period we would wait while the teacher came around and restarted our macs while the other half we would struggle to get stuff running.
