Once it's a coincidence, twice it might be something else.
Not long ago Apple got their ear pinched for that Lugz advert twin.
Now their recent Intel spot looks a lot like a music video from The postal Service.
See the video hosted at The Last Minute Blog who spotted the likeness.
On the one hand - how different can chip factories look really? On the other, this looks a lot like demo love.

PermalinkThe Postal service are not so happy, as noted on On the Postal service own website 01/19/06 -A Note from Ben
"It has recently come to our attention that Apple Computers' new television commercial for the Intel chip features a shot-for-shot recreation of our video for 'Such Great Heights' made by the same filmmakers responsible for the original. We did not approve this commercialization and are extremely disappointed with both parties that this was executed without our consultation or consent. -Ben Gibbard, The Postal Service "
Meanwhile, adfreak reports that the video was just added to iTunes.
