Hasta La Vista, Vista (Picture)

August 7, 2006 on 12:25 pm | In Mac, apple |

Apple wants to make sure that everyone knows how great Leopard is going to be, and how horrible Vista is going to be. Well a nice bold statement was made by Apple today, and this picture is worth a thousand words. Hasta La Vista, Vista:

1. Please explain for those who don’t know Spanish and don’t quite get it.

2. “hasta la vista [Spanish bye, until I see you]”

   It was a famous quote from Terminator. Basically Apple is saying they are blowing away the competition. Microsofts new thing is “Vista”. Its a pun.

3. Meh. Does Quicktime Pro cost more than PlayStation 3 yet?

4. Forget Spanish, it’s a Terminator reference.

5. You shouldn’t need to know spanish to get it. Hasta la vista is the famed line in the Terminator films. Used literally, it’s means “see you.” In popular culture, it’s meant as a final phrase uttered after an opponent is defeated. The use of this phrase here is clever because Vista is Window’s new OS. So they are saying, with the advent of leopard, we can say good bye to Vista, before Vista even comes out.

6. Hasta La Vista means “good bye” in Spanish with Windows’s Vista as a pun.

7. You don’t have to know Spanish, you just have to have seen Terminator 2. That was Arnie’s catch phrase: “Hasta la vista, baby” that he said right before shooting the bad guy.

   Personally I think it’s hilarious how Apple adverts are never just about how good their products are. They just force down your throat that they think PCs suck.

   Watch your TV for a day and count all of the PC ads. Out of those, count how many even MENTION Apples, let alone trying to belittle them. Out of all of the HP/Dell/Toshiba/Sony/Gateway ads I see, none of them rip on Apples.

   It’s kinda immature, really.

14. Nice! Good wordplay! But Rob, are you really serious that U don’t know the meaning of the catch phrase ‘Hasta la Vista’? Comes in Terminator 2 with Arnie saying, ‘Hasta la vista, baby!’

15. Apple se ensaña con Windows Vista…

    No se si es un fake. Pero en el caso de que la foto no este trucada, podemos deducir claramente como Apple le ha declarado la guerra abierta a Microsoft y a su Windows Vista. Hasta la Vista, Vista!!!!…

16. Did you know…

    that in Spain, The Terminator’s “Hasta la vista, baby” was translated as “Sajonara, baby” (Bye-bye in japanese)?

    Hugs from Spain!

17. “Hasta la vista” is a Terminator 2 quote and means “See ya”… Literally means:

    See ya, Vista! or Bye, bye… Vista ;)

18. In the Terminator film, dubbed in spanish, “Hasta la vista” was substituted with “Sayonara, baby”.

    Creo que esa es la frase que decís, ¿no?

    Comment by spanish guy — August 9, 2006 #

19. Hasta la vista, baby = Until I see you, baby

20. Me hace gracia el despotismo de algunos angloparlantes, cuando el español es el idioma más hablado de toda América.
    ¿Os recuerdo que todavía estaríais entre los cocoteros si España no os hubiese llevado la cultura?
    ¿Os recuerdo que la primera moneda que circuló por los USA fue la española?
    ¿De dónde os creeis que vienen nombres como Los �ngeles de San Francisco, California, Tejas, Nuevo Méjico, Florida, San Diego, Nevada, etc.?
    Anda, que sois patéticos.
    Por no tener no teneis ni idioma propio, que os lo tuvieron que dejar los ingleses.

22. Y a mi mas todavia ustedes los españoles que se creen mas que los demas, cagaron a toda america vinieron e impusieron su puta cultura, lengua y religion robaron todas sus riquezas, lo peor de todo es que el 12 de octubre festejan el dia de la hispaidad, que hijos de putas son, ese dia fue el principio del genocidioo llevado acabo por los europeos principalmente españa. Los de EEUU no son mejores, son unos ladrones codiciosos.

    Comment by harkay — August 9, 2006 #

23. harkay, me parece que no es para ponerse así. Lo primero, yo soy español, y no me creo ni mejor ni peor que los demas, simplemente soy español y estoy orgulloso de ello, simplemente.

    Otra cosa. Lo de que impusimos “nuestra puta cultura” es un poco despectivo. Por el momento nadie ha criticado “vuestra cultura” asi que un poco de respeto con la nuestra.

    Tambien me hace mucha gracia que digas que impusimos “nuestra lengua”, bueno de acuerdo, ahora mismo, nadie te obliga a usarla asi que ¿por que la usas? Que quede claro que no estoy menospreciando la cultura anterior a la colonizacion, pero me hace mucha gracia que critiques “en español” que os impusimos “nuestra lengua”

    Y lo de “hijos de puta” yo creo que sobra. Hijos de puta los hay en todos los lados y nunca es bueno generalizar

    Sin mas, un saludo desde este lado del “charco”

27. [...] i suspect the next iMac will be metal, black, white, 20, 24, with perhaps a 30 inch, and if not an update to their displays. “Check out the Vista.” They will say, or Vrroom with a view as they have said. [...]
