I searched a bit but I haven't been able to find the new commercial
online, so hopefully it'll be mentioned on Slashdot as "The Heist" was
and we'll see mirrors. I haven't seen the new ones on TV, but I hadn't
even seen the "IBM Supports Linux 100%" one, either. IBM has no love for
my demographic -- but they advertise during football.
Have they announced what their target audience is with this campaign? It
seems to be very different from where they were going with the "Peace,
Love & Linux" idea.
