I followed the link from Volker Webber's blog to check out the IBM Universal Business adaptor (having not seen the ad, for a second I wondered if the thing was for real), only to find out the story was in German. Fair enough, as so is he, but my German is a little rusty beyond ICH BIN EIN AUSLANDER and DU HAST MICH (points for spotting where each of those phrases has entered my vocabulary from). A quick google search picked up this link.
2 things to note here:
1. I feel somewhat stupid for the split second consideration that this could have been a real device.
2. There is a website out there to rate ads? AND ITS SERIOUS?
..and people tell me that *I* need to get a life?
