A little late to the party, I know, but this is the best of all of the MacBook Air parody clips out there. And it’s one enormous envelope. Thank you, Dell.

I probably shouldn’t be saying this on a Mac site, but reputation be damned: I’m quite interested to see Windows 7. Let me explain why. (Hang on while I put on my flame-proof jacket. There.)
THING THE FIRST: I want a netbook. I want a cheap, tiny, low-power little computer that does text editing and web [...]
It seems that suing Apple is no longer just the sport of crazy chicks allegedly denied their dog-given right to resell iPhones at extortionist rates because Apple discounted them. Instead, we have crazy patent campers who think that 25 years after Apple pioneered the use of the GUI in personal computers, they’re entitled to [...]

In the wake of Apple pulling out of Macworld — and the prospect that Steve Jobs may leave the company — many are wondering if Apple will survive without him.
The answer is yes, Apple will definitely survive without Steve Jobs. It may even thrive.
Here’s three reasons [...]

Brazilian designer and Apple fan Victor Anselme has a few ideas about how the Mac mini might evolve into a useful and desirable product.
From his description, helpfully translated by Google from the original Portuguese, as amended by your humble correspondent:

the funniest part is that that ad will probably sell more Macs than any Mac ad. why? because a lot of folks don’t want to deal with all those pieces and cables. why should they when they can get sleek iMac with a wireless mouse and keyboard and have one cable. and you can use one of at least 3 programs to run windows on it if that’s what you want.

The video is NOT by Dell, but by a comedy troop from the University of Maryland called, “The Bureau”. It took me all of 36 seconds to research that.
1) Watch credits
2) go to website named in credits
3) done
If Dell made the spoof, they would have polished it a bit more than that.
Maybe you should do the right thing and properly give credit in your post to the people that actually made the video.

Yeah, I don’t think anyone was under the impression that this was actually made by Dell…

Yeah, I don’t think you get the point.
When I read the title, and then read the short, three sentence blurb, you clearly give Dell credit for this. Once I started watching the video, I questioned if Dell actually made the video. Watching the video to the end, it becomes apparent that it was done by The Bureau.
The point is, you are posting someone else’s work, do them the justice of giving them credit.

Misleading article/headline. Maybe stop being so amateur?

So some of you guys actually think that Dell commercials are hosted on funnyordie.com and then feel the need to tell the poster he got it wrong? Wow, that’s sad.

This ad has been around forever (ok, since the same week the Air was released). You guys are a little late…
