| 865709 | 2010-03-10 10:59:00 | What's your favourite implausible "computing on the go" ad? I remember one where the guy is sitting cross-legged on a raft made of rough-hewn logs. One little wave from a passing speed-boat and he can kiss $3K of hardware goodbye. I recall another where a fellow is standing, holding his full-sized laptop in the palm of one hand, while apparently typing with the other. I guess I could do that ... for about 15 seconds. To kick things off, how about this one: htmlgear.lycos.com I guess it's okay for pressing the PGDWN key, but try keying a string into google while your elbows are immobilized. |

| 865711 | 2010-03-10 19:42:00 | Probably any ad showing a laptop; they never have power leads showing, and often have the user sitting very awkwardly on something near a pool or some such. Another personal hate are those horribly PC (politically correct, not personal computer!) ads with a bunch of suits hovering around, and pointing at a laptop; there's always an African American type, an Asian/Hispanic looking person, a couple of women, and a square-jawed hero type. Blaaaagh :badpc: </end rant> |

| 865712 | 2010-03-10 20:13:00 | where the guy has jumped out of a plane, holding a laptop, and it's connecting to the internet, another XT fake I think. Never sky dived, but I would expect thats almost impossible to do, hold on with one hand while plummeting towards to the ground, the wind would rip it from your hand. |

You just wait Wainui, you may have set off a law of physics argument about a plummeting person and laptop. |

Looks like she is trying to find the PGDWN key |
