Muslims copy Mormon adds

idea

Question Everything
Hello, my name is Husayn, and I'm a Muslim..

MY FAITH - MY VOICE

Sounds like:

Hello, my name is Joe, and I'm a Mormon

Our People | Mormon.org


LOL, the muslims are copying our add style. That's fine, we'll see who else copies it. It's good for everyone to get to know everyone else better.

That's nice, but you have to understand that people like me see you as a human being and don't give a rat's hindquarter's what religion you believe or what nationality you are. Frankly, I found the children speaking at the end of the video to be a little chilling... They are simply parroting the views of their parents.

I guess what works for one authoritarian vendor's overpriced product will work for another authoritarian vendor's overpriced product.

I've seen the "I'm a PC" ad, but I've never seen an "I'm a Mac" ad. Are you sure Apple
does this? Anyway, perhaps Apples cost more cuz better products are more in demand.
Microjunk is buggy, pricey, nosy, crash prone, insecure, & they have really uninspired commercials.

Not sure about the ads; just going by what Watchmen said.

I think authoritarian and overpriced apply pretty well to both, but Microsoft also offers an inferior and aggravating product. IMO, Apple is superfluous, because anything Apple can do, Linux can do better, but Microsoft products go way out of their way to suck in ways you would never have imagined if you hadn't seen it for yourself.

My computer guy prefers Mac, even though he's Linux capable...it ain't perfect either. But the proof is in the pudding - users are willing to pay
extra for Apple products, when they could easily switch to Microjunk. I'm an engineer who has written software - I see ways in which Gates
purposely limits functionality. Example: I use work arounds to trick Windows into allowing true multi-tasking multi-user environments
supporting many serial terminals with no memory issues or crashing. Microsoft is just flat out poor at engineering.

I'm not a programmer, but I know enough about code to know that Microsoft's code is a nightmare. They don't have any sense at all of elegance or efficiency. I'm not saying that code should never be complicated, but I am saying it shouldn't be, well, garbage. Also, I've rarely noticed Microsoft innovating in any truly original ways. Usually, they just take other people's innovations -- usually Apple's -- and then try to pass their own version as some bold new step forward. Or they brag about how well they've cobbled together a fix for their own crappy products.

Windows Nuevo!
Not as bad as Windows Infinity!
You'll get used to it eventually!

So I can see why people love Apple in comparison. But for me to pay for Apple prices, I'd need dramatically better functionality than I can get in Linux, and I don't mean iPhone apps.

I'm sorry better product. You can't put Apple in a sentence with reliable, good quality and reasonable price without the words complete and total lack of.
