xtraa Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Ah, a new one I love this ads with Macs for PCs. Am I the only one or does the picture of the Mom and the kid looks like a sect commercial for some strange church?

Conan Obrien Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 (edited) Well Conan is just a little geometry master, eh? Being able to tell from a picture of 1/4 of an Mac/i book whether it's one or the other from the thickness and ports. yes i am. thank you (taken from mac daily news) Edited March 10, 2007 by Conan Obrien Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44316-vista-advertisement-uses-macbook/#findComment-320440 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreakTheChains Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 (edited) The one in the first advert was an iBook. If you look closely you'll notice that the safety lock thing isn't present like it is in the Macbook. You know what I mean right? The oval shaped one? I think it's oval shaped anyways... Oh and you can tell that the thickness is different without being a 'Geometry master'. Oh and the ports are a great way to tell what model computer it is. Unless of course you're too stupid to figure it out. And one more thing, quit being so arrogant unless of course you didn't mean to. In which case disregard these last two sentences. I'm not having such a great day so excuse me. Anyways, I think Microsoft needs to start making their own crappy hardware so more people will use Macs because their computers will suck so much. And by suck I mean flush. You know? The e-Toilet? By Microsoft? Speaking of e-Toilet I think I'll make fun off that since I'm in such a jerky mood. So you go into your bathroom and your e-Toilet isn't turned on and you wan't to check your mail while you're taking your number 2. So you turn it on and guess what? Thats right! Windows boots up so slowly that you finish your business before you can even do anything. What about that one time that you're drunk and have to take a wee? You're drunk right, so you don't know what the hell you're doing and you forget to pull the screen up (and the seat and cover for that matter) and you {censored} all over it! "Aww man I wizzed all over my e-Toilet!" Well why the hell did you ever want it in the first place?! Doesn't it have some computer controlled features in it too like flushing and a cleansing stream of water? Well what if the computer crashed on you? Well lets think of a Port-A-Potty for a brief moment. If a truck carrying a Port-A-Potty crashed wouldn't said potty fly into the air and splash turds and stuff everywhere? Yeah I think you can imagine what could happen with the toilet. That stream might be nice if the comp crashed. You could use it as a cold disgusting shower or a sprinkler for the lawn...or the kids.

hecker Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 (edited) This is the prototype of the new Microsoft e-Toilet. It runs under Vista ET-Edition. The only problem is that Vista keeps asking me for permission every time It wants to wipe my rear (it has little arms, you can't see them in the picture because they are behind it's back there).

Metrogirl Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 This is driting right off-topic so I'll nudge it along a couple of different tracks. E-Toilet: When I was in Tokyo last year the toilet in the hotel indeed had little arms under the seat which popped out to spray water at your parts when you pressed a button. What amused me was that the toilet never missed, and it had one button for an accurately aimed 'a-hole'-wash and one for gently cleaning a woman's parts. So a (male) colleague and I were discussing this over dinner, as you do, and it transpired that we'd both been shuffling around on said toilets to work out the limits of the device's intelligence at aiming for the right place. According to my colleague a man could operate the 'woman' button and the alternative arm still came out but when it collided with his dangly bits it promptly retreated. Seems the intelligent e-toilet is a reality in Japan! Microsoft advertising (on topic) A couple of years ago MS showed a server room in an advertisement for their server technology, and a smiling administrator talked about how he never had problems after installing Server 2003 blah blah. Unfortunately the servers in the picture were all IBM RS/6000s which simply cannot run any MS operating system. MS advertising agencies are not too bright... Here's the Japanese toilet - the view on the left shows the 'woman' arm, the one on the right shows the either-sex beam-end spray. The other buttons control seat heat, a fan to suck unwanted aromas out of the way and a setting for water temperature. Both arms are in the process of retracting here because they fly back out of the way (and refuse to come out again) if there's no-one on the seat.

amdhac Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 The hell you say! I've dreamed about a toilet like this. Really. Warm seat and warm water bathing my undercarriage with no odors sipping a coffee on a cold Canadian winter morning. No more 'dangly bits' stuck to the ice. Heaven! Brilliant! Wonder if it will fit through the door of my igloo? Woman, team up the dog sled, load up the pelts, we're off to the trading post.
