Funny how Apple has become more of a "Big Brother" presence then Windows ever was. I still don't understand how Windows as a open platform is considered as Big Brother in this commercial.

The 1984 ad was marketing genius . . . and a huge risk at the time. Well done Apple! For those in my line of work, this ad is famous and a part of advertising history.

Oh, hoopty... Yer showin' yer age, honey! Brazil is a takeoff of 1984.

I remember seeing this ad when it first came out, and being thrilled that it was a female athlete. That alone seemed really progressive.
