LOL

Google's cache doesn't have the images.

Irony: microsoft makes fun of IBM, then signs a contract for IBM to make chips for their new xbox... hmm...

in a nutshell, microsoft rips off the matrix to make IBM and linux look bad. myself and others have already ranted in the IRC channel #vendetta. the ranting is below.

Nov 17 20:46:45 <Zeratul> looks like IBM is facing a war on two fronts: IBM vs Micro$haft and $CO.
Nov 17 20:46:55 <Katarn> Sorta
Nov 17 20:47:09 <Katarn> but I want neither to win in the IBM vs SCO one
Nov 17 20:47:28 <Katarn> As long as both stay the way they are everything is just the way i want it
Nov 17 20:48:18 <Zeratul> i hope microsoft blows it with longhorn. that'd be sweet to see them fall apart. won't happen though. the average computer users are like sheep.
Nov 17 20:48:35 <Katarn> hah
Nov 17 20:48:41 <silentsuicide> lol yeah
Nov 17 20:48:54 <Katarn> and people herd sheep with viruses!

Nov 17 20:49:59 <Zeratul> hahah. i never have any since i stopped using MSIE.
Nov 17 20:50:13 <Zeratul> Firebird and Thunderbird forever!
Nov 17 20:50:18 <Katarn> :D
Nov 17 20:50:24 <silentsuicide> woooo go safari!
Nov 17 20:50:30 <Katarn> woo
Nov 17 20:50:55 <Katarn> if you turn on debug mode you can emulate windows MSIE6 to go to places that only accept it for some dumb reason
Nov 17 20:51:17 <Zeratul> i can do that with Firebird as well with the aid of an extension.
Nov 17 20:51:18 <Katarn> I wanted to see how much BuyMusic.com copied iTunes music store :P
Nov 17 20:51:23 <Katarn> cool
-----END-----

I want to download that video.

Mind you, the Matrix was a crappy movie anyway, but making fun of IBM is just BAD.
