apple goes clueless? welcome to the party

in 2004, apple showed off their groundbreaking ad introducing the macintosh. come see how 2004 has become like 1984 (sorry george)…

original [via slashdot]

ipod-enhanced revised version [via apple]

this came up in #joiito, i figured it was worth noting as i work on a little bit of writing about trust and re-establishing trust.

did apple people really miss the orwellian implication of this stunt?

double-plus good. we have always been at war with oceana.

apple makes the ipods. apple has always made the ipods.
