Apple Fires Direct Hit in Wintel's Armor Plated Underbelly


Apple has posted the new “Lethal Weapon G4” commercial for the new PowerMacs. The ad, which we belive to contain more tanks per inch than any previous Apple commercial, includes a fabulous and mildly ironic chide at the “harmless” PC world.

When the Power Mac G4 became the first personal computer to cross the threshold of one billion floating-point operations per second (also known as a gigaflop), it entered the rarefied realm of supercomputing?and got the attention of the U.S. government. The Pentagon regards supercomputers as ?strategic technology??in effect, making the Power Mac G4 a weapon that shouldn?t fall into the wrong hands.
