Apple crushes creativity and its reputation in new iPad ad (www.theregister.com)

The ad itself depicted a mechanical crusher destroying artifacts of human creativity. A trumpet, guitar, sculpture, piano, drawing board, paints, a metronome, several analog cameras, a turntable, and hi-fi equipment were among the much-loved items yielding to the machine's unstoppable force.

I'll try to explain this to you - the video shows crushing of plethora of sophisticated, subtle, powerful instruments and then says you can replace them all with Apple's picture poking thing. The preciousness of that thing is not shown to us. The preciousness of those instruments is implied, because we know what they are.

We literally see the precious being crushed and some shit being offered instead after crushing it. Like "I broke all your toys cause I think this one is better and you are going to like it".
