btw, dudes, i think you just don't get it. this isn't a current print ad... as stated multiple timesit's nearly 10 years old. the ad is, i'm sure the only photo of ms. parks they have rights to and is a great shot. their entire homepage was , and pretty much still is (with the exception of a couple product blurbs now) a GIANT LINK TO A MEMORIAL ARTICLE of rosa parks. i have no clue what kind of person is going to biitch about the fact that they didn't photoshop their logo off the ad?
click the link, read about ms. parks, have a moment of silence or whatever... it's just a nice thing.

I am pleased they linked to an article and not to more products.
but they are on thin ice with this.

jesus christ...
it must be awesome to be sooo anti-everything to the point where you end up bitching about a memorial for an important person in US history.

why post it from another server?
how can i be sure Apple used this?
also: this ad has been used a long while ago when they had all these names like Einstein etc. See old typeface and slogan.
perhaps they took it from the archives again to pay respect.
if they are sincere and somehow contribute to whatever good cause she leaves behind then i don't see why it is in poor taste.

But then you still would have the Apple logo on their homepage. Should they have taken ALL Apple logos off their site and then taken down the Apple Store for the week or something? Just taking the logo off of the image would have been enough for you all? Because people are too stupid to look 2 inches up at the other Apple logo right? Where shall the madness end? Give me a break.
A majority of the reason why we still have racism is because it is passed down / "tradition" within racist families.....(study after study after study after study has shown that racism is learned, kids aren't born racists)...but also a part (granted a much smaller part) is people who can't accept that there are white people and white companies out there that are open minded and aren't racist.....and because they can't accept it they can't start to let people in.....a wall is kept up. STOP PERPETUATING THE DIVIDE IN THIS COUNTRY. I'm not saying to ignore it all together but, holy crap, when you see something positive being done by white people learn to accept that as a good thing and learn to start loving the fact more and more people every day and year and decade are becoming more and more open minded and accepting of those who are different. Its because of people like Rosa Parks that this is the case.....Apple is celebrating that.....embrace it.

it is more of a philosophy and ideology then anything.
- mrdobolina0
it's a fucking tagline, do you honestly think apple users "think differently"?
what a load of pretentious shit.
- jpolk0
btw, crouwell, the ad is on the apple home page, for the time being. it links to a memorial...

Dobs, why do you always have to be such a naysayer? You seriously can't be happy for one second on any level that a predominantly white american company is celebrating a great american black woman? Not even for one second? You truly must be a miserable person. Is there anything you do like?

distasteful.
