FatBits was a feature of the original MacPaint that gave you a magnified view what you were drawing so you could edit individual pixels. (There's a similar feature in iPhone, where you can get a magnified bubble view of text to position the insertion point for editing.)Michael Markmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556289806815705670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21517466.post-32781183769538592512012-05-13T17:36:20.837-07:002012-05-13T17:36:20.837-07:00Wozniak = Fat Chip: What's that about?Wozniak = Fat Chip: What's that about?Dean Bairdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681829220589441713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21517466.post-14174930648660876022012-05-09T20:10:34.987-07:002012-05-09T20:10:34.987-07:00Kyan,

People who had their freedoms curtailed. Not people who were starved, worked, and gassed to extermination.

The idea that MAc would wage war against Zombies using IBM products is pretty uncreative and at odds with the concept of the Mac.<br /><br />I think the ad guys just catered to Jobs overblown self image to sell something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21517466.post-87103853108275156912012-05-09T04:40:40.595-07:002012-05-09T04:40:40.595-07:00On the minus side, my dog could do a better FDR.

There has been some debate on the MacRumors forums, where some people question the appropriateness of the video, and some wonder if the IBM "zombies" are analogous to Holocaust victims?<br /><br />I was someone who was trying to analyze the film and came to that conclusion; however, I was not attacking the film.<br /><br />From my watching of the film, it struck me that the Apple troops were analogous to the allied forces, IBM is analogous to the Germans, and the zombies using PCs who are in chains are analogous to concentration camp victims/workers.<br /><br />I know it's a dark subject and my analysis might be controversial (as it was on MacRumors), but I can't see any other way to interpret it.<br /><br />Was there any controversy about this at the time? Again, not criticizing, simply curious.Kyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09406939385697031315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21517466.post-14976697690129588872012-05-08T11:44:26.661-07:002012-05-08T11:44:26.661-07:00I like it; it has the right balance of tongue-in-c...I like it; it has the right balance of tongue-in-cheek and serious intent.
