About LinkBackshey guys,
i saw this from my cousins website.. its about the new apple intel ad..
here's what it said:
taken from http://blog.wired.com/cultofmac/
Apple is at it again -- making TV ads that bear an uncanny resemblance to music videos.
Apple's latest TV advert, touting Intel chips inside its new Macs, is remarkably similar to a music video from The Postal Service for the song "Such Great Heights."
Both are set in clean rooms, and feature bunnysuited workers making eyes at each other.
See for yourself. Here's the Apple ad, and here's The Postal Service video (Windows Media download).
Apple is currently being threatened legally by Lugz, which claims an apparently actionable similarity between Apple's iPod ad featuring Eminem and a 2002 spot for Lugz footwear.
Of course, in the latest case, Apple may have an agreement with The Postal Service or its record company, or may have hired the same director, or licensed the work.
>> Here's the site for the Apple ad and the Postal service video (side by side comparison)

** i thinks its all clear now as the director is the same. But i just want to share this to all ** Thanks!!

Re: Apple Ad for Intel - rip off ??? I wonder why Apple keeps getting into these fiascos. Is someone in their ad agency deliberately trying to sabotage their campaigns? Its so ironic for this to happen to a company whose hallmark is innovation. I love to see Jobs' reaction to this.

A Note from Ben
It has recently come to our attention that Apple Computers' new television commercial for the Intel chip features a shot-for-shot recreation of our video for 'Such Great Heights' made by the same filmmakers responsible for the original. We did not approve this commercialization and are extremely disappointed with both parties that this was executed without our consultation or consent. -Ben Gibbard, The Postal Service
from http://www.postalservicemusic.net/
if you get the chance watch the video for Such Great Heights, simply because it is a fabulous song
