"I think decking them out in an "I love Solaris" t-shirt before placing them was more intended as a gentle tease against HP rather than mocking the memory of the founders."
Maybe or maybe not, but this kind of marketing ploy works. Look at how KFC portrays the frail, old Colonel Sanders. Now, he's jumping around, speaking slang, and rapping "Go Colonel, Go Colonel!", but nobody complains about that. I bet the ole Colonel is rolling over in his grave.
My 94 year-old grandfather is too proud to use a wheelchair, yet too fragile to walk.
He's 94 years old! He's too proud to be seen in a wheelchair, yet he wouldn't be too proud to be seen on a Segway? I'm 33 years old, and I would rather be seen in a wheelchair than a Segway.
Hey, this reminds me of the joke, "What do fat chicks and mopeds have in common?"
>Whenever Sun calls, its a smoking hot sales chick (to weaken your resolve) and a grandfatherly guy who actually knows his shit (to instill confidence).

Here Here! Just take a look at Japan. They play video games as much, if not, than here in the US. You don't see them doing drive-bys or going on killing sprees in the name of "Doom". Video games have nothing to do with violence in our society. The media and the "moral" majority just like to use it as a scapegoat
