Oh, my, god. Are you guys seriously whining about this? Good lord, folks. Get a life! JavaZone folks: You absolutely rock. Ignore the whining unbelievers. NB: Of course its a joke, geez. What, you think they're going to burn this video to a DVD and shop it around as business consultancy advice?

I couldn't agree more. We just had the primaries here in the States and to hear all the negative campaigning was just sickening. I'll vote for a positive campaigner any day. The sad commentary about negative ads is it is what a lot of people respond to... On Aug 14, 12:51 pm, Casper Bang wrote:

It's kind of funny but then what is with all the 3.5" disks on her torso? Geeks all at Macs writing Java code? The only laugh I got was seeing Duke chasing her. Otherwise it was just a copy of a music video more or less. I guess it appeals to the 20-something crowd. On Sat, Aug 14, 2010 at 2:15 PM
