The original was perhaps one of the most iconic adverts of the time, it has been re-used by many times over the years, but none have pointed the tyranny of Big Brother at Apple themselves. DoubleTwist are the company behind this online advert. This time it is them and not Apple who are supposedly going to save us all from becoming drooling i-slaves. And how do they propose to do this I hear you ask?! By selling us another product of course! They have come up with new software that promises to put "your iTunes library on any device," available in now in beta, but full launch is on the 6th October. Enjoy!
