I don't recognize it but it seems very 1984,...big brother-ish.

Apple's revolutionary commercial.

Now, we'll see if 2010 will be like 1984.

Try this next time: either stop - stop - play or stop - stop - stop - play.

There's a quick skip hardcoded into most players and/or DVDs. I don't know much about why and how, but one of those two commands always got me through commercials.

It's a strange time when some consider a Microsoft product more "alternative" or "subversive" than an Apple product. Either way, you're supporting an evil, money grubbing corporation. Might as well just go for the product that works best for you.
