watched some of the ipad 2 keynote event today. And jesus fucking christ, it was the most self-gratifying pretentious load of bs ive ever seen.
Its basically steve jobs banging on about how great their products are and how much they've sold, showing competitors and laughing at them... yeah real classy.
I dont know of any company that is lame enough to show competitors and show lesser sales and literally laugh at them.
He also misquoted samsung vice president in regard to the galaxy tab sales.
Apple make GREAT products, fucking great products. Its obvious they do. The masses love them and their marketing is exemplary
But their promo videos and these arrogant keynote speeches just completely ruin it. Clearly the fanboys lap it up, and it obviously doesn't affect sales but its just cringe worthy. All those sales cant buy them an ounce of class, clearly.
You'd expect a company that takes design so seriously to be culturally aware and conscious of their image and taste in these events and promo videos.
The products are fantastic, but the promo videos are laughable, cliched riddle and cringe worthy. The keynote event (ipad 2) was just self gratifying and tasteless.
- Keynotes are for the press and enthusiasts mind you.ernexbcn
- Not only do the other companies laugh at Apple when they can, they make commercials to do it. It never works.monospaced
- never works. Also, Apple wouldn't have press conferences like this if people didn't pack them like they do. Nobody else can.monospaced
- yeh mono, they clearly work. people flock to them, papers write about them. i just find them so uncomfortable.Hombre_Lobo
