The only takeaway I have from this post is the continuing idiocy of the Apple vs Android vs Whatever "battle", as if it's some kind of exclusive choice.
"For the record, I’m a huge Android fan so it takes a lot for me to write a blog post about something impressive by Apple."
I own an iPhone 4S and a Nexus 7. They're both great devices. I've seen Windows Phone in action and it looks cool; Mozilla's B2G stuff is looking great and there are many different areas in which mobile OS providers can differentiate and be inspired by their competitors. This sort of religious war helps no-one and impresses no-one. It's the modern day equivalent of writing "M$" instead of "Microsoft" and we should all know better.
You chose to focus on one aspect of a blog post that gives the reader a little bit of context and background to the author, but otherwise very positively outlines an advertisement that in his opinion executed everything it set out to, and then publicly decried him for barely doing everything your commentary actually does. I found myself nodding in agreement with all he said about the ad, and he said it well.
I think it's you that stands to get over one's self.
I didn't mean for it to come off like that. I use an Android phone but I am also writing this from a Macbook Pro and I have never had a non-apple computer, so I don't think I'm really part of the aforementioned "war". I was only clarifying that I'm not some Apple fanboy foaming at the mouth about every minimal Apple ad.

Get over yourself.
