Apple’s new commercial for the Intel-Macs – like the controversial iPod ad – seems to have used a music video by “The Postal Service” as inspiring example.

[...] Just be to http://www.apple.com and watched Apple’s new Get a Mac Ads. Personally, I found this series of ads very funny and creative and I think it is so much better than their last Intel Mac ad, which by the way, is a direct copy of the American Postal Service ad. [...]
