New iPad Ad Looks Like the Old Newton Ads

If the iPad is from the future, then why does its latest ad give me a serious case of deja vu? Well, because everything that's old is new again! Apple debuted a new spot for their magical iPad a few hours ago, and although it has already been noted that it's basically a higher resolution copy of the old "What is Newton?" ads from the '90s, there's something else that caught my attention — the Read more
