As you can see in this clip from <em>Pirates of Silicon Valley,</em> Steve Jobs accused Bill Gates of stealing from him -- when in fact, they <strong>both</strong> stole from Xerox.

But they're all tyrants, ironically. That's marketing for you. It’s funny how Apple likes to position itself as some sort of hip underdog to the corporate monster that is Microsoft.

Or a commercials showing why Apple platforms don't get viruses/ trojans (Because hackers won't bother making viruses recognized by Mac). :) Mac haters (myself included) would want to see a commercial showing just how much a non-gamer friendly Apple is.
