Great piece. i’ve loved apple since my first game of pong! poor obama when he got to the white house and discovered all the pcs with 9 year old windows software! they couldn’t even get emails for two hours. this town needs a serious technology upgrade–all the cool stuff goes to the military.

Man it would be fun writing an episode for this show and trying to work out how you could integrate mac messages into the storyline.

That video has an edited version of Apple’s 1984 at the end. Notice the runner/hammerthrow lady is wearing an iPod.

Nice retcon of the iPod into the Apple ad! Made me do a double take. 🙂

In “Fry and the slurmfactory” we see that Benders cpu has the same product number as the cpu in the first Apple 2: 6502.

This whole time I have been watching Futurama, I am never noticed that it was referring to Apple. Very good eye’s mister author.

Too bad Macs suck. Maybe Futurama wouldn’t have been canceled if it used Windows.

Lol nice compilation. I loved the scene with the “Sorry, a system error occurred.”
April 1st, 2009 at 2:48 pm
Yeah, datdamonfoo. Futurama uses Windows. That makes sense.

And drawing the Macs would be fun, too.

“When the Mac freezes up, one of the character suggests in a bit of uber mac nerd humor, “Try control-alt-delete.””
Which is a Windows command. Command-Option Escape is the Mac equivalent.
