The Scobleizer says the new IBM freaks him out a bit. Or at least the kid does. But I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I found the ad moving. To see all these experts freely contribute their knowledge, insight and wisdom to "the kid" was moving. What I think Robert may have missed is the line in the ad that says something like: "What he learns, we all learn."
Yes, the ad would be more accurate if it showed the kid interacting more with his "teachers"--asking questions, correcting them, answering their questions. But it still worked for me. It got across the essential nature of open source, which is of course open, shared development.
