Apple disappointed fanboys and critics alike with its most recent series of commercials that aired during the first week of the Olympics.
The "Genius" spots struck a tone that had fans questioning if the company lost its advertising Midas touch.
Well, scratch that lapse in marketing judgement — because NASA has come to the rescue.
The pictures of the agency's Curiosity Rover Mission Control, where apparently everyone uses Macs, could easily become the basis of new ads. The tagline? Something like Apple: For Doing Stuff Like Landing on Mars.
Maybe the copy needs a bit of tweaking, but you get the idea.

Joel Bush didn't know anyone was watching when he got down on one knee to propose to Jennifer Orr. But photographer Patrick Lu happened upon the couple on the capital grounds in Austin, Texas and shared his beautiful picture to Reddit: "Did any of you propose at the capital last night?"
The post made it to the top of /r/Austin with 1,400 up votes (the highest of all time in that subreddit), and Redditors offered many suggestions on how to locate the mystery couple. It turns out, Bush himself discovered the post and tweeted his elation that the Internet had shared in the couple's happy moment.
With the 2012 Summer Olympics in full swing, you're probably glued to your TV screen — or the computer screen if you find NBC's delayed telecast unacceptable. But take your eyes off the tube for a bit and treat yourself to this amusing gallery of Lego Olympians swimming in a blocky Lego pool.
Artist Gary Davis created this miniature replica of London's Aquatic Center, the 2012 Olympics' venue for swimming, diving and synchronized swimming.
In one of the most beautiful misnomers on the planet, "fire rainbows" are actually neither fire nor rainbows. Spotted in south Florida, these iridescent clouds contain water droplets of relatively uniform proportions, creating a rare event of colorful light diffraction.
Your average rainbow refracts light, bending it as the light passes at different speeds through different mediums, such as water, reports Our Amazing Planet. But fire rainbows diffract light, which causes the light waves to spread like rings.
Lions, tigers and Gary Busey — oh my! Photoshop wizardry replaces the faces of Wizard of Oz characters with that of actor Gary Busey.
A lesson for the kids: Never follow Gary Busey down the yellow brick road.
Nick Gentry is an emerging British artist who works with outdated and obsolete media (such as VCRs, rolls of film, cassettes, etc.) upcycling them to form art pieces addressing consumerism, technology and media.
We recently came across his "floppy disk paintings," which consist of numerous portraits illustrated on floppy disks. Gentry runs a program titled Xchange where he's currently encouraging people to donate used film negatives, X-rays and any transparencies. We're looking forward to seeing how he works with his next set of used materials.
