New Mac ads

Have you seen them?

This looks like a shift from what Apple has been doing until now. Apple ads have always been about highlighting the simplicity of use and the "aura of magic" that you experience when using a mac.

These ads, to me, they read in a couple of possible ways:
  • Mac users are so dumb they can't do the simplest of things without the help of a genius
  • Macs are so complicated to use that even the simplest of things require the assistance of a genius

Not very clever of Apple I would say. Thoughts?
