re: PayPal joins Samsung in ad fail

Why is any ad attacking Apple desperate and shocking?

I was saying that PayPal was in shock, but yeah, the ad is pretty shocking.

1. It came out practically the next day. It's a knee-jerk reaction.

2. It's dishonest in linking The Fappening to Apple Pay, because the latter doesn't involve iCloud at all but instead combines Touch ID with secure features of the A8 chip, stuff PayPal doesn't have, and the major banks are all on board because it's more secure than cards.

Were y'all saying the same thing when Apple was running the Mac vs PC ads nonstop?

While that ad campaign never made me think about switching to Macs, at least it was funny. It was also different in that it wasn't the established 800 lb gorilla trying to scare people from using a new service that hasn't even started yet.
