Apple UK => Get A Mac Ads OK, I can’t really blame the Brits for this. Apple UK has re-tooled the current Apple Get A Mac ad campaign with a decidedly British flavor – not just accents. There are six ads, four of them are basically the same as the American ads, but two of … Read more

Sad and Depressing Cold
