Still can't figure this out...Surely Intel knows that Apple isn't putting a dent in its x86 CPU sales! What's all the angst about Crapple? Sounds like some kind of childish, venomous revenge because Apple dropped them. AMD is eating Intel alive--and they talk about Apple, as if Mac users have ever cared about what CPU is in their Macs... It's really hilarious to think back on how Jobs ran Intel CPUs down at every turn--prior to moving Apple to the Intel CPUs he had talked trash about for years...! I really do think that Intel is sorely pissed at the resources they consumed to keep Apple happy, and then they got jilted and dumped... Intel has many, many internal management problems, obviously.

Well lets be honest. Intel has always been a childish bully. BUT so has Apple. It was only a matter of time before these two had their playground rumble.

Its called marketing. Charlie has a pretty good take of this on Twitter, I got half a chuckle seeing they got the old Apple guy to do this



Humorous youttube comments as well. Brand loyalty is a strange religion.

An act of intolerable act of applestasy!

Same old Intel, reusing old tech (actors too)

It's just advertising. And it's working. It got published on a news site and you saw it.

I'm pretty sure Justin Long is a "I like getting paid to be an actor in commercials" guy.
