A 5m masterclass on marketing

The "think different" ad was ruined for me once someone (probably on TNCR 15 years ago) pointed out that it should be "think differently".

There was a lot of discussion about this back in the day.

The point that Jobs was making not that you should think in an unexpected way - "differently," but that you should think of things that are unexpected - "different."

It's like saying "Think blue." And an image of something blue pops into your head. Jobs was stressing the importance of thinking of the unexpected, whatever it might be.

Craig Tanimoto is also credited with opting for "Think different" rather than "Think differently," which was considered but rejected by Lee Clow. Jobs insisted that he wanted "different" to be used as a noun, as in "think victory" or "think beauty". He specifically said that "think differently" wouldn't have the same meaning to him. He wanted to make it sound colloquial, like the phrase "think big".

Perhaps "bigly" would have worked....

He should have said - 'Dress up like a French twat and flog computers to unsuspecting pseudo-intellectuals'

No offence to the pseudo intellectuals Mac users here.

Ten bucks says more often than not, your phone flashlight is on when you pull it out of your pocket.

Huh?

[89th]

It’s an insult either to your age or lack of technical skills, or both. Personally, I would love to see the flashlight in your pocket.

@89th the funniest thing is him thinking I have a phone with a light

@89th

"Is that a flashlight in your pocket or are you glad to see me?"

Hardly, not with my handy-dandy phone holster!

Just remember to forget your reading glasses on top of your head when you need to make a call!

You know, from like 2005-2009 I had a phone holster (when I would wear a tucked in shirt at work). I fully stand by the utility and function of having it. That being said, I think around 2009 or so my GF (now wife) told me how dweeby I looked with it. While she was right, in respect to no one else wearing it, I stand by...like I said...the function of having it on your waist. Easier than fishing it from a pocket.

The guys who had pocket protectors probably said the same thing.

Waist packs ftw. But I am told I look (more) goofy wearing them so it’s a non starter.

If you dressed properly, the phone would’ve have been in the inside breast pocket of your blazer or suit coat…

@LuFins-Dad hate wearing a sport coat or jacket like that

You use your phone to actually make like calls, like?
