Apple pulls the plug on 'Get a Mac' ad campaign

There's been rumors that Apple had ended its long-running of "Get a Mac" ad campaign ever since Justin "Mac" Long said he thought they might be done last month, and it looks like that's now finally been confirmed by Apple -- the company has pulled all the ads from its site and is instead redirecting folks to its new "Why You'll Love a Mac" page. Of course, the move doesn't exactly come as a huge surprise considering that Apple hasn't produced a new one since its Windows 7-challenging ads last October, and Apple has certainly had plenty of prime material since then. Head on past the break for look at one of the more recent highlights, and hit up the more coverage links below if you feel like reminiscing a bit more. As for what's next for Apple, we can only guess. A triumphant return of Jeff Goldblum, perhaps?

@thefrataline like I said, by definition. There are no viruses in the wild for OSx.
State whatever reason you want. It's still a fact.

whatever they're doing with the ads, it makes sense just to change it to REAL ads about the products, not about the competition between Apple and Microsoft. They should focus on the features that EACH COMPANY HAS.

-PCs have more viruses than Macs because no good hacker uses a Mac.

-Macs are used dominantly in the States. Everywhere else in the world, they use PCs.

-PCs have games. LOTS of games.

-PCs costs less than a Mac, AND have more features (more RAM, more memory, etc) than one.

I switched from PC to Mac a couple of years ago...big mistake. Mac freezes up just like PC's in spite of what their adds claim. Mac's printing capabilities are inferior to the PC, and I do a lot of printing online (for instance, there is no "print select" feature, no page numbers placed, and no web address automatically printed at the end to make is easier to find later, all of which I had with the PC). I can't find a lot of the software for the Mac I could with the PC, and the Mac crashes periodically for no apparent reason and loses everything I am working on. I paid too much money for this thing so am stuck with it for now, but I can't wait until time to switch back to PC. To me, the Mac adds are just bogus. All I did was trade one set of problems for another.

oops, ads not adds.

I'll be happy not to have to shake my head at my TV anymore. Those ads just made me hate Mac lovers all the more.
