Microsoft Uses "I'm a PC" Character In New Ads
arcticstoat writes to tell us that in the wake of their largely unsuccessful Jerry Seinfeld ad campaign Microsoft is setting their sights directly on recent Apple ads by featuring the "I'm a PC" character in their new advertising campaign. "He then follows this with another phrase, such as 'and I've been made into a stereotype' before the advert shifts to a range of people performing a diverse assortment of jobs, all of which also say they're a PC. Among those featured are astronaut Bernard Harris, as well as religious author Deepak Chopra and 'Desperate Housewives' actress Eva Longoria. The ad also features a wide range of anonymous people, including a shark diver, a teacher and a guy with a beard."
Thats pretty funny from a MindlessAutomata[n] (1282944).
Are you a Christer or Dominionist too?
Seriously, some of Deepak's later stuff has been a bit fluffy, but his earlier publishings were very informative to students of both New Age philosophy and energy work. He explained the chakras and personal energy fields very well. I have spoken to Reiki masters who cite his work, Wiccans(and other occultists) who have improved their magics from learning energy control, and Martial artists who have improved their skills through better visualization of their chi/ki just to name a few . All thanks to Deepak.
One's use of an OS does not bespeak their worth as a person or teacher, just as one's faith in a diety does not justify their continued existance.
How amazed would you be to suddenly find that you just forgot what I wrote and you needed to reread my post.... again.
This wasn't a troll. It was funny.

Our current presidential candidates should take that page out of your father's book. I might consider voting for one of them.

It was better in the same way that 0.0000011 is bigger than 0.000001099.
Doesn't it make you feel good to know that our freedoms are protected by politicans, lawyers and journalists.
