BestBuy bait and switch or just stupidity?
We all know that Bestbuy is essentialy the slime of the electronics universe, but this seems low even for them
Why is that sccreenshot of OSX itunes, not Windows iTunes? it is a Windows unit, unless Apple has made a strange deal with e-Machines under the radar, which so obviously didnt happen. So was it a dumb graphic layout person or a clever bit of trickery?

if you look carefully at the itunes screen it seems as though the entire left panel is taken up by a long vertical shot of the artiste... last time i opened itunes the album artwork only takes up a small portion of the bottom left corner
artistic license 8) joe dumbass jock sixpack and stupid teenie barbie wannabe girl won't notice.... and the parents are mostly concerned about the money, education, and all those parent-worry things to notice that OMFG in that 1-inch picture its not a windows version of iTunes...!! what they will notice is if any best buy employees are not giving them enough info or being otherwise rude when they walk in the store

Now ipodandimac, remember when you fell in love with the girl on the Wheaties box? Well it turned out she was real too, but that didn't make her your ladyfriend. </HankHill>

If all your GFs are in paper form, you should at least spring for a copy of Hustler or Playboy ya cheap-ass
BTW it is official, that little matter with the Olsen twins has won you a restraining order...from their cardboard cutouts at walmart!
Hate to break it to ya, but that Best Buy cover chick is doing the geeksquad guy...why elese would an underpaid geek in a dorky uniform have a smirk like that...gets her free tech support for her new e-machines
Sorry, couldnt deside on one responce, so ya got all three...

oh come on admit it who here has not pleasured themselves to some catalog picture somewhere in the line of their sexual development
shit i've said too much already....
And no, it's not a teenage fascination, which is the kind we've seen around here with Danika Cleary (sp?). It's just the fact that I wouldn't have even looked at the ad had the dancing girl not been there.
You guys. . .

Maybe you should have a look here.
Though it isn't a chick.
[Edit: And on topic, it wasn't that long ago that AMD released an ad that showed quite clearly a guy sitting with a TiBook. Wishful thinking or a portent for the future..? (Would have been much more satisfying if it was an Intel ad)]
...and they probably take great pleasure in coming to rumor sites like these and reading all the "Is AMD trying to tell us something? What could this mean?" speculation some of you folks come up with.
