    Wonderful! Only true Mac addicts would remember the Cube, or the 1984 hammer-throwing advert.

    The funny thing is that apart from Jobs peeing on every iPhone, everything else is actually TRUE!

    I knew when I watched this one of the tech site I read would post about it. It was hilarious. How about that underwater Cube and Steve Mob’s User Interface?

    Uh, no. Many people remember the 1984 ad, as it was landmark advertising. And, in fact, the ad only ever ran officially once. The multitudes of other times it ran were replays, mostly discussing the ad.

    That ad almost always shows up in any “history of advertising” type program, too.
