I doubt that there is someone who does not know who they are The Simpsons, as I also very much doubt that there is anyone who still does not know Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), in fact, if you're here, it's because you know her more than well. Today we are going to give a twist in our treatment of the apple company and we are going to have a good time of entertainment and humor analyzing Apple's treatment on The Simpsons.
Apple and The Simpsons, a relationship with a long history.
The relationship between the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), y The Simpsons goes back many years. In fact, the creator of this animated series worked with those from Cupertino illustrating a catalog and promotional posters for Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), before becoming universally known with these yellow characters.
It was at 1989 when Matt Groening worked for a few months for Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),. "Who needs a computer anyway?”Was the title of the catalog designed by the artist to promote Macintosh among college students. The campaign was carried out by the characters of the comic "Life In Hell", also created by Groening and that at that time enjoyed great popularity among the American underground community.
He also made two promotional posters for Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, "Networking in hell", For which he charged with a LaserWriter printer (which was worth $ 1989 in 7.000), and"Bongo's dream dorm", Whose headline stated"Macintosh: part of every student's wildest dreams".
Although the collaboration between Groening and Apple ended at the time The Simpsons jumped to the fore, the truth is that the link between the two has been maintained with the popular series.
Mapple, Apple's projection on The Simpsons.
Born in the late 1989s, in December XNUMX (yes, before many of you were born), this yellow family from the imaginary American town of Springfield It is, without a doubt, the most irreverent and well-known family in the world of television. His characters have become a caricature of themselves taken to the extreme, especially the head of the family Homer. With a background of sarcastic and even burlesque tone, for its twenty five seasons and also their twenty five years of history Hundreds of characters have passed from public life such as Paul McCartney, Danny DeVito, Aerosmith, Conan O'Brien, Ted Danson, Woody Harrelson, Hugh Hefner, Magic Johnson, Cristiano Ronaldo, Tito Puente, Mickey Rooney, Winona Ryder, David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Bill Clinton, George Bush, Kim Basinger and, of course, Steve Jobs.
In all cases, and if memory serves me, these characters have appeared with their real names, except for Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, its creator and its devices.
