Has anyone else notice this?

An ad for IBM-something, here on WD? Note the three cogs interacting with each other... and think about this for a minute... -A machine so geared would NOT work! :eek:

Or perhaps the folks at IBM are soooooo clever, they actually managed to figure out how to make it possible and they're giving you a teaser of it in the advertisement. Y'know: "We're so good we can make this work. Imagine what we could do for your business!" type of thing.

What springs to mind though, is a a number of years ago in the States, there was a campaign to create a logo that personafied "Local, State and Federal Gov't Agencies working together" and this almost exact same logo was the best that they could come up with and it was voted in (and almost immediately mocked by the general populace & Press)... and once again, a machine geared so will not function... :p

As for "IBM"... -do you remember "2001: A Space Odyssey"'s sentient/malfunctioning killer computer "H.A.L."? Note that in the English alphabet that "H" comes before "I", "A" come before "B" and "L" come before "M"... This was not a coincidence... :eek:

"Open the pod door, H.A.L.!"

Have a look for a video file found on many of the p2p networks and grab a copy of...

GNN - IBM & the Holocaust

It "Tabulates" the facts from the myths and the dark dark secret that exists in the depths of the IBM vaults.

it will make you think twice about using an IBM product again!

Hmm. I wonder if the same guy did any docs on Daimler or Mercedes-Benz and their direct connection to the Nazis? And Volkswagen? I'll never buy any of those.
