@nk
One of the Best MSFT commercials Ive seen
....too bad its not really a commercial.
@thisisit one thing we know now is that skynet wont use MacOSX, why else would it come to destroy Apple stores and Im not sure its gonna use Windows (would not make it so obvios) soo...hmmm...Im beting on BSD xD (joking ofc)
@thisisit James Cameron a Apple fan ? I guess not....: http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/Features/2010/apr10/04-26Mobilife.mspx
@nk
So John Connors' real name is Bill Gates?? And he's going to lead the revolution??
@JudgeDredd
I think he means John Connor?
The Terminator's target?
@sharms could be, U never know :D
@JudgeDredd,
If you think by JC i meant James Cameron or Jesus Christ then you are just thinking or drinking too much.
hint: Terminator's (or Skynet's) primary target in every Terminator film.
*btw i'm just wowed at the MS plug you put there, pretty cute*
@Engadget,
Why you have my previous post deleted?
@Everyone else
Stop being a fanboy, neither MS nor Apple will pay you.
@nk
Lame
@nk
I'm pretty sure that thing is running a future copy of Windows OS, (Windows 2112)
@alext nah it would've gotten a McAfee update and gotten a BSOD. More like, linux programmers trying to scapegoat MS
@nk iCame.
Nice!
wow I just shat myself that is frigging awesome. Asta la Vista Apple
@3rdsun,
"Asta la 7..."
*fixed*
@3rdsun I think Apple already made that Asta La Vista joke. Still funny I guess..
@hulahoophugs Thing is... it's HASTA la Vista. With a leading H.
I know that certain 'security' site used the Astalavista name, tho it's far from correct. =)
'Boolean22: Teaching Spanish to the masses!'
This is possibly the coolest thing I've seen in 6.5 hours. (No seriously, it's awesome, I just see a lot of cool shit.)
@MichaelF
Well, I just finished looking at ... something .... so this is not the coolest thing I've seen in 6.5 hours, but sure is pretty nifty.
P.S. Why is the camera cutting out like that at the end? It didn't look like the camera was shot or anything..
@Wowzers When badass things are happening, everyone knows that the camera has to mess up... Though I find it kinda funny that it shows him running, yet when the camera goes back to normal we see he's only run like ten metres :P
@MichaelF
Lets keep this simple:
EPIC
@MichaelF
yeah man. The creator got some skillz! Notice how there are relections in the glass but you don't see any of the cameraman
@Shokz
"Though I find it kinda funny that it shows him running, yet when the camera goes back to normal we see he's only run like ten metres"
If I'm using a limited zoom point-n-sh!t camera, I wont run too far from the action either. Of course, you can always ask that thing to do a re-take.
Those vending machines have creepy, smiley-faced coin slots...
Also, that was awesome.
that was pretty amusing. great work to the maker of the video. that was some good cg
Cool!
Currently terminating illegal operation...
Confirm or Deny?
Well.. at least he didn't buy beer with it.
...I was half expecting him to "Jack-on."
@IAmAlive
Bonus points for the Futurama reference!
Kind of misses the point, M$ doesnt have to fear Apple , they have to fear G, because G gives out stuff for free, and thats going to hurt them real bad.
@dementedacademic
Not to mention the Apple/Microsoft relationship is more co-operational than competitive (See: Boot Camp, Microsoft Office for Mac, and the up and coming Bing search engine which is making a move onto Apple platforms).
I mean, we make it out to be some huge battle between the two, but really, the consumer overlap is tiny. Compared with the other companies, Apple is a veritable friend. They hold roughly the same political views, and very few of the things they make can't either work together (MS software/OS on Macs), or else or appeal to separate markets (Arc mouse vs. Magic Mouse). Apple's main business isn't even software! (or at least not software that you are meant to use on any old computer) :P
@Mmmm Donuts Exactly, Steve Jobs uses MS bashing to sell stuff and make iOwners feel as though they own a BMW vs a MS made Ford. End of the day, MS and Apple make money from selling software/hardware, but G makes money selling ads, so they r natural enemies. I constantly keep debating whom I dislike more, Apple or MS
@dementedacademic You could just admit that both make good products. My iPhone would be worthless without Outlook, and I have both Macs and PCs at my desk. Both sets of products do cool things, but different things. I like my iPhone for the app store and general ease of use, but for more advanced stuff (and accurate GPS) I have a Windows Phone.
@superstar I never denied they made reasonable products, but IMHO, the future of paid software is probably not that rosy, so that Robot out there might represent both Apple and MS, ok and why the hell was my comment down ranked so much? oh too many iFans, sorry.
i'll be back!
hasta la vista...
@benderfender
Vista indeed
So the robot represents the FTC/DOJ bringing their first antitrust case against Apple? Thanks Mr. Robot!

Why does this remind me of "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie?"
I'm sure Apple fanboi will have a "Call to Arm" event launching soon.
lol, that is so funny
but its not rly true
apple is only kicking ass in the ipad/iphone area
nowhere near beating,catching up to microsoft.....
(not a micrososft fanboy),i personally love iphones and ipads, but u cant rly compare apple to microsoft
He's the Terminator, and Windows 7 was his idea.
@MeisterDon
f'n LOL @ this comment
*Mind Blown*
@forHim247, no *Apple logo blown*
Epic!!!
this needs to be seen in apple stores. im gonna go set the ipads and macs to this link. hahahah
@(Unverified)
Do it mate! I'd do it too... but dont particularly wanna step inside an apple shop... have a friend who works there... ill get him to do it.
@Mark S ....lucky you guys, me i have a restraining order ...i cant go anywhere near it. its not like it's my fault or anything, its just that i really fear the apocalypse, and with the ipad and all....
John Connor work for Apple?
