That commercial was better than i thought it would be. Does anyone know what "Res publica non dominetur" means? it was in the commercial.

Res publica non dominetur --

The commonwealth is not owned


It reminded me of Lucas's first film THX1138, I hope this gets the message across, I'm sure it will.

Yes.  I wish apple could come up with a commercial like that.  I mean some of the stuff they've done is pretty good but the problem is people have a hard time deciding if they are supposed to be stupid or not.

That ad isn't nearly as corny as all of the ads I've seen from Apple. I think that ad is actually decent. I'm not a Linux advocate(as everyone already knows) but I have to give props to IBM for thier good work.

i can't fucking get these.
i try to download the movs or mpegs but no dice.
ibm don't seem to like putting direct urls in their pages. i don't have time to piece together tha urls  and plugger doesn't want to deal with the links.
