Apple crushes creativity and its reputation in new iPad ad (www.theregister.com)

The ad itself depicted a mechanical crusher destroying artifacts of human creativity. A trumpet, guitar, sculpture, piano, drawing board, paints, a metronome, several analog cameras, a turntable, and hi-fi equipment were among the much-loved items yielding to the machine's unstoppable force.

Having arms to play a guitar.

Just thought I'd drop in to say, it's possible to play it with your feet.

My dude! So good

Clearly they shouldn’t be allowed to have an iPad right?

Clearly some people should donate their opposable thumbs to someone who might be differently abled and actually get the point

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Great point. Not a lot of people have time and two arms

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Assuming you’re being condescending, some people don’t have the physical capability to plan an instrument. That should stop them from having apps to create music just because a small handful of people who dislike Apple are offended by a commercial that was largely computer generated.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Great counter-point. So we are offended by a commercial AND calling for a ban on differently abled people from using music creation apps! How many differently abled people in your life would love a $1000 iPad designed for an able bodied person? Or would they want something designed with them in mind? Speaking of condescending. "Sounds like a you problem. Don’t piss on everyone else’s parade. "I think a lot of people here are confused and angry at clouds" "I’m sorry your music career didn’t pan out after all that work. Not everyone can be a musician."

Dis you?

There are plenty of other things about Apple we could be complaining about.

My dude. You are so close to getting the point son. We are on the same page

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

If you point is that Apple makes great products that enable users to be creative with few limits, but like every corporation there are things to complain about… then yes, we are on the same page, my dude.
