Apple Legal Department wants Microsoft to remove this ad



And so we've been running these PC value ads. Just giving people saying, hey, what are you looking to spend? "Oh, I'm looking to spend less than $1,000." Well we'll give you $1,000. Go in and look and see what you can buy. And they come out and they just show them. Those are completely unscripted commercials.
And you know why I know they're working? Because two weeks ago we got a call from the Apple legal department saying, hey -- this is a true story -- saying, "Hey, you need to stop running those ads, we lowered our prices." They took like $100 off or something. It was the greatest single phone call in the history that I've ever taken in business. (Applause.)
I did cartwheels down the hallway. At first I said, "Is this a joke? Who are you?" Not understanding what an opportunity. And so we're just going to keep running them and running them and running them.

More stuff from Pratt

This is the final portfolio timeline of the egg drop project. You should be able to click on the pictures to see them larger. I'd just like to note that both prototypes worked!







This project is from foundation class (drawing and color stuff) the original sheet of colors are below. The picture is made up of all different colors and was made focusing on light and shadow. It looks better from far away. I also made a set of mustaches for it.
