Today the Apple community shouts a big hurrah to the news that the previously rumoured January 27th event, something every blog and podcast, including this one, have been speculating about for the past month or so, is now in fact a real thing!

Apple Event: Come see our latest creation.

ArsTechnica seem to be the first of the mainstream tech-blogs to publish the story, followed by Engadget and Gizmodo soon after. All confirm the event shall take place at 10:00am in the Yerba Buena Centre for the Arts and Theatre, San Francisco. Known as the regular location for previous iPod/iTunes events in September, and with no Macworld Expo keynote from Apple this year, it seems like a good place for Apple to show their “latest creation” to the world in a month that has introduced us to the Mac Mini, iPhone and MacBook Air in previous years.

The “Get a Mac” ad campaign (sometimes known as the ‘Mac vs. PC ads’) shown in the U.S has, last month, been named AdWeek’s “campaign of the decade”. In light of this, I have now found an excuse to unveil my personal distaste for Apple’s latest Mac campaign and the people who love it.

Now before I begin, I cannot, and will not deny how successful these advertisements have been for Apple. The fundamental reason why I believe this to be the case has been worded perfectly by AdWeek themselves:

“That series of 60-plus ads brought some humanity into the equation by turning the machines into live-action cartoons. In so doing, the comic spots offer transparent understanding of the aspirations of its audience and how people identify—and connect emotionally—with technology.” (more…)
