Postal Service And Apple.
So Apple released a new iMac and a new laptop, the MacBook Pro, both showcasing Apple's new affection for Intel.
They also released a new TV ad to let everyone know about the new Macintels...
...a tv ad that is so unbelievably similar to The Postal Service's music video for "Such Great Heights"; subscribe to the MacTV vidcast on iTunes to see a great video playing both videos side by side.
In case you don't bother subcribing to a podcast and downloading this video just to see what I'm talking about, I'll explain:
- both ads feature men and women wearing the intel bunny suits, going through the motions of creating Intel chips. Now, Apple obviously has more reason to make a commericaly revolving around such a theme, but there are moments that both videos share that are so disturbingly similar...Someone at Apple must have seen this postal service video. I'm sure they did not intentionally rip-off P-serve, and I'm not just saying that on the account of all my wood for Apple.
Anyways, Apple just added the "Such Great Heights" music video to their iTunes store...so I guess everything's cool.

The video and the advert were actually directed by the same people. I rather like them both, too.
Did you stop reading Digg or something? ;-) ;-)
WHOA. I never stop reading digg. I found out they were made by the same director after I wrote the post; I wrote it before anyone posted about the director.
so BACK OFF.
