Apple Ran Out of Ad Ideas

Engadget reports that the new Apple commercial for their Intel-based macs is a ripoff of a music video for the song "Such Great Heights" by the group "The Postal Service".

Apparently Apple didn't get approval to do so. It's one thing to take a shot or two, or do a parody, but this is apparently a ripoff of the whole thing. Not good, particularly for a company trying to woo recording and movie studios to it's online service with it's own digital rights management scheme.
