Neat case but weird advertising. It makes one wonder if you could mount that thing on a wall or upside down on a ceiling...

The other bit of weird marketing comes from IBM via Facebook. The big news for Big Blue is the official release of POWER7 hardware to the public. To no one's surprise the new gear is setting various world records but the marketing push is a bit odd. For example, the following video was posted on YouTube and Facebook:



A subtile hint with the demonic sheep is that IBM will likely go after HP but is quitely waiting for them to show off their new Itanium systems later this week. (Carly Fiorina, former CEO of HP is running for the US Senate this year and has a bizarre political ad complete with demonic sheep.)
