1984 redux

Posted by Sandy

It's one of the most famous TV commercials ever made. It was directed by Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Blade Runner, Alien). It aired only once -- during the 1984 Superbowl.

It's "1984" -- the famous commercial that introduced the world to the Macintosh computer. Today, to celebrate the 20th year of the Mac, Apple has posted a slightly updated version of the ad on its Web site.

If you look closely, you may notice at least one subtle change from the original.
