What is Digg?119 Comments
- peregrine, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8I could care less this comercial is 2 years old. Linux is nearly 18. This is a commercial that states what linux is. Linux is open to anything you want it to be. If you want it to know poetry then you can program it to work with poetry. Linux is open, linux can do anything, linux is...amazing. Its also selling linux...in ways no other company can.
I - MalDON, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4They were actually using a metaphor to describe it. It is showing that one is smarter when one exercises an open mind. Rather than being tied to the basics one comes with, such as windows, Linux is open to anything. And I just saw this on google video a few minutes ago.

- pixelwerx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Nice. Muhammad Ali, that chick from Laverne and Shirley, and some profound sounding old guys.
I wish I had teachers like that growing up. - zemote, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Must digg keep re-hashing old web stuff, that 90 percent of us has seen before.
- Volt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The ad may be old, but it's still cool.
In fact, it's great. - eliomar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1seen it a long time ago and loved it. It conveyed the linux notion of an evolving OS, one that learns and is adaptable for everything. Thats what i got out of the commercial. Plus I dualboot windows and Ubuntu.
- tuxidomasx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2whooa. great commercial. dugged+
- linuxkungfu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I got goosebumps. That was way cool
- rimco, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It may be old, but I definitely get their point, though it seems a little headdy for the average joe. They're expressing that Linux is young, but it's growing and evolving at a rediculous rate... kinda reminds me of the movie A.I.
- unagiguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It may be old, but since I've never seen it, it's new to me. As an aspiring artist, I really liked the whole "creepy/alternative" style.
- thegoodknife, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i bet they made the video on a mac
- wmtrader, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12 years old or 4 years old who cares it is a cool commercial.
- sdigroup, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1who cares if its old...its a powerful, compelling commerical..+digg
- sgtpinky, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's an american ad for american people. It's crap to me.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0very cool...feels almost Kubrick-ish
- draj, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I know this is really old stuff, I digg it anyways, haven't seen it for quite a while :>
- z0rz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I scrolled through the list of comments and didn't see what I saw said.
I saw linux being taught how to do all these different things by all these different people, he was sitting in thie room of white. White being a since of freedom and endlessness. So he was open to any and all information that was avaialble being taught things by any and everyone, just like Linux is. Such a perfect example. - happbando, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i've seen that a million times, but now i understand. wish i'd understood back then.

cmon now, you can read right? - number8888, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Man I love this commerical when I first saw it!! I think I saw it at least a year ago. It's old but it's still good!
- andreizilla, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Linux looks like Eminem,..
- clickwir, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Rock on kid. Remember, we're all counting on you. :-)
- m4v1s, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0dated, but cool
- terminalpariah, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Cool commercial, but is this digg or del.icio.us? It's not news. It's not even new.
- heinouskyle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That's a pretty sweet commercial. Almost as good as that banned Xbox 360 commercial.
- jimbo92107, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0How ironic that IBM should create the successor to Apple's "1984" ad, which slammed IBM for being "Big Brother." Now IBM attempts to grap the moral high-ground by trotting out a collection of famous and semi-famous people, then telling them what to say.rnrnNice try, Big Brother. I'll use Linux when it's finally ready, and for my own reasons, not yours.
- scutter, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I am a big fan of Linux, but I think this is the stupidest ad I have evern seen. It is long and seems to have no point.
- phate86, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0weird ad...
- designbydave, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i normally hate all comercials with a passion, but this one is t3h l33t
digg++ - sexualpotatoes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0when i first saw that i didn't know what linux was! old but good
- link_36p, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this touched my heart ;)
why do a lot of u guys complain just cause u didnt like it?
no one forced u to watch - hollywoodone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0digg on knowing what you were talking about before clicking the link
- freeyayo50, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Great commercial. Wish dey would show it on TV & give more advertisement to linux.
- mylastbreath, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ibm. linux. ali. do commercials come any cooler?
- jwalk81980, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's a commercial designed for share holders. It doesn't go into specifics. The intention is to keep people happy about stocks they've already bought. For this commercial, it's IBM. It's for the fat cats on Wall street. The commercial is saying "We know you're worried about IBM's involvement with Linux because you don't know what Linux is. Don't be worried. It's safe."
- squegie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0My favorite Linux commercial is from several years ago. I couldn't find it easily, but maybe someone else can. Basically a guy walks into a white room (what is it with IBM and white rooms?) and if panicking because he thinks that they've been robbed. "What happened to all the servers?" he screams. Another guy just happens to be strolling by, gestures at some grey IBM box and says "Oh.. we put everything on Linux now.. it's going to save us a bundle" and strolls out. The next screen says "IBM" and something about reliability. When I saw that I was just like "WOW". Here we had world-renowned massive computing consulting firm IBM saying "the solution is Linux" without even blinking. digg.
- tmcleroy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0awesome
- imightbewrong, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i remember this commercial but not the linux part, wow wicked cool!
- ramsinks.com, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's been on my site for .. a year.
I have the .EXE and .MOV.
(bootem of the linux page - The future is Open text) - MasteRR, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's been 2 years since I saw those commercials and they still wow me.
- liz4rd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0its hard to teach linux ? *smacks* stfu n00b you dont teach you 'learn' xD Very cool!
+1 Digg - leobaby, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Interesting choice of people but theres a few I don't recognize.
- chilimonkey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1This one has always been my favorite
http://www.ubergeek.tv/article.php?pid=54 - spect3r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Good ad.
- foxhoundadmin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"i don't get it...
LINUX knows about airplane physics and is albino so I should use it?
It gives no reason to use Linux except that it is "open""
that's like the only reason to use it. o.0 -
