	Considering the huge percentage for Ali and the low percentages for Edison and Picasso, I would say that thinking differently is far less important to the Q rating than thinking the second half of the 20th century.

	I don't think I've ever seen these ads... but I appreciate the idea and love all these great and talented people!

	It's Huston, not Houston. He's named differently.

	Wow! The Dalai Lama looks remarkably like John Amos from Good Times in this picture.

	That's Kermit the Frog and you darn well know it!

	Houston, we have a problem. It's John Huston, not Houston.

	I'd say Bill Gates "thought differently" and significantly changed the world, but, alas...

	Are these "Think Different" ads old or something just coming out? I've never seen them before.

	@ gopaladins: Each answer on the page http://www.sporcle.com/games/thinkdifferent_results.php is formatted as a link to info about that answer. Sporcle answer pages generally work this way. Encourages us to research the info in the quizzes!

	The picture for Ted Turner really threw me off. He looked more like a 1950s movie idol.

	I never liked these ads. These people didn't endorse Apple.

Is it just me, or does Gandhi look like Nosferatu in that picture? I couldn't tell it was him.

	There was a Jackie Robinson "Think Different" poster that got discontinued, I think. Well, I think it got discontinued; I know it exists, because I have one.

	Is this ad campaign responsible for the wholesale loss of adverbs in US English? Think gramatically!

	@SRG - Total and utter bull I'm afraid. Strange that from a list with more than a few pop-culture non-entities your bone of contention is with the inclusion of a man whose different thinking changed the course of history to a greater extent than the rest put together.

	Anyone hazard a guess at how many people would have gotten Jim Henson without Kermit there?

	kirbyjay:	Sep 16th, 2009 at 09:46 GMT	3 points
	Got them all except Rand. And Chavez was tough because it didn't really look like him. Great quiz!

	I believe that Nikola Tesla is more "think different" than Edison.

	JoeGrzzly:	Sep 16th, 2009 at 10:24 GMT	8 points
	So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. The rest will be posted else where.

	@steeltown different is a noun in this instance.

	As much as I love Apple, I find the exploitation of great historical figures for monetary gain disturbing.

	very nice that only 10% of people who "think differently" are female. way to accurately represent the world, apple.

	cocky:	Sep 16th, 2009 at 11:25 GMT	-1 points
	I don't think the world would have been much differant without Earhart and all the musicians and film makers. They were vcertainly talented people but they didn't significantly change the world or how we do things. Or Ali for that matter. That leaves Edison, Mandella, Chavez, Gandhi and Turner. The Dalai Lahma really hasn't accomplished anything.

	More "famous people's pictures" quizzes, please! I sat there for a long time trying to figure out where I had seen Edison's face before. Also: Apple needs more women in these commercials. They only feature two women, neither of which (no offense to them) were all that revolutionary.

	@kingstony: If your aim is the lowest score in the history of Sporcle comments, you could just politely ask so.

	eln77:	Sep 16th, 2009 at 13:38 GMT	11 points
	@cocky sure, but if they really went for people who changed the world most, they would have had a major public outcry with their Hitler, Stalin, and Mao ads.

	rockgolf:	Sep 16th, 2009 at 13:44 GMT	36 points
	Speaking of thinking differently, at the rate things are going, Sporcle is going to surpass 100,000,000 games played probably sometime in the next 24 hours. How about a hand for the people who created this site?
