I really don't go for most IBM commercials, not even the Linux ones (don't get me started).
But IBM's more recent Avatar on Island one just had me smiling, and I still smile every time I see it.
Note: I can't seem to find it on YouTube, anyone?
Just reminds me of the masses of IT noobs that hit during the .COM boom, who were doing nothing keeping themselves busy.
I still run into those types, but extremely infrequently now days, and they don't last long.
I think the word "Innovation" stopped being valuable the second Microsoft used it to claim the 3rd best product they bought and ****** down their distribution channel was what it was.
I not only tune most people out who use the word in the IT industry, but most of them are inspiring Goron-style "buzzword bingo" with me (of which even IBM also offers another commercial on that theme).
They talk the talk, but don't know **** about making anything that is useful and are a waste of a salary or billable rate.
IBM seems to be hitting some really good commercials this year.
