Wow, that IS freaky, good find lex.

[policestate]

From that page :D

So a Hooters girl and her hammer took down Big Brother. Makes sense.

[yaya551]

From that page :D

LOL, that's hilarious!

[haukipesukone]

Freaky. Reminds me of Metropolis by Fritz Lang. That was probably the point. I don't see how Macintosh has freed the world from the Big Brother, though

i think their message was, PCs dominated. Now you have a choice, you don't have to listen to Bill Gates or one authority.

i dont think bill gates was dominating in 1984, tbh..just assuming though.

[policestate]

it was the only personal computer though right?

[helloperator]

Nice to see the classics in ads. Nice message too...smashing the dictating message...breaking through for freedom

Two thumbs up

[clint_giles]

good idea to look back at the past for hidden answers

"The DigiTimes reports that while new Intel Macs may be demoed at Macworld 2006 in January, they will not be released until June 6, 2006. That long of a lag time seems strange, but it's interesting that 06/06/06 date was mentioned (and not just for religious reasons). First of all, the date is exactly one year from the announcement of the switch to Intel. More important however is the fact that "666" has a special place in Apple's history, since the original Apple 1 was released at $666.66 (in 1976, making 2006 the 30th year Apple has been selling computers).

If that date is true, it could make sense for iBooks and Mac minis, since the cheaper single-core 1 MB L2 version of Yonah is scheduled for release in Q2 2006. However, I still hold out hope for a 13" PowerBook announcement in January. Such a machine could use a dual-core 1.66 GHz Yonah, or perhaps more likely, a single-core 1.66 GHz Yonah with 2 MB L2. Both chips are on target for release in volume in January"

Can't read too much into myself other than....

1984 - LA Olympic Year (hammer thrower) - Ad made before announcement of Soviet boycott

[camreeno]

That's actually a really famous commercial, and it surprises me that people here haven't seen it. lol I guess people outside the US aren't aware of it.

It was about the first Apple Macintosh, which was released in 1984 and screened during some big American sport event called Superbowl.
Because was simple to use being graphical user interface and mouse, rather than typing DOS commands and keyboard, it was said to empower the user and so 1984, wasn't going to be like 1984 (the novel).

Here's another freaky ad from the 80's for Kinder Surprise.

Why is it in the next video after this one...you've brought up, as in the WE ARE CHANGE, as in The News part...it says something to this effect about Alex Jones...

We Are Change has Amy Goodman on the run
22 MARCH 2010

A compilation of Amy Goodman’s responses to questions concerning Building 7, Architects & Engineers, and the 911 cover up including a new confrontation at DePaul University by We Are Change Chicago...

Why do they say or this one says..."And don't even get me started on Alex Jones?" As if Alex was a Gatekeeper or something to that affect.I just want to be on the right side...ya know? I mean this is WE ARE CHANGE and about 911 cover ups, as I thought Alex Jones was On our side...just want to make sure where I am at...again, ya know?

Here is the address... http://www.wearechangelondon.co.uk/ and look under We Are Change has Amy Goodman on the run and you will see it wrote there in a highlight...What on earth does this mean? Does this guy even know what he is talking about or what in Sam's hell is he saying here? TY

Love the irony of that advert.

Buy our products and you weren't be a mainstream drone. You'll be an individual! A discerning, shrewd consumer!

Yet every man and his dog these days can be heard farting on about the latest iphone or mac product.
