It's been a big story over the last few days, Apple's new Intel ad was supposedly the same as some music video, well it appears the reason they look similar is because they are by the same Director.
Sarah Moody of Sub Pop Records had this to say;
"... the Apple commercial is indeed very similar, it wasn't licensed in any form, and was made by the same directors as the Postal Service video. We weren't alerted to the fact that it existed until the day it came out."
So serves you all right for jumping to conclusions...
