Apple Fires Back with Bean Counter ad

October 20, 2008 by Ross McKillop

The latest Apple Ad, “Bean Counter”, takes aim at Microsoft for spending $10m on the Seinfeld ads. Admittedly, Apple certainly has a large advertising budget - the most common criticism of the ad - but lets face it, they release security patches and “fixes” a lot faster than MS. Of course they don’t have to issue as many, w/ the BSD core, it’s less vulnerable. And they put in more effort in making the product “right” the first time around.
