    that ad is utterly ridiculous in the sexism but i think that's the point. personally, i hate pink unless it's for breast cancer awareness so i would be gagging over the color statement. i wish they had come at it better, like HP did. we are not technologically inept. our products should demonstrate our savvy and sense of style!

    Man, America does not know how to promote technology approprately to women. If you want to look at proper examples look at Japan or South Korea! By the way why is it that pink here is associated with breast cancer? Lame.
