YouTube a haven from media/industry brainwash; let's keep it that way
WHEN Novell employees fill YouTube with adverts (Microsoft does this too), they always have some good reason/excuse. Novell, just like any company, is made out of people, so it's responsible for the things they do.
There are lots of 'new' (some are practically old) videos which were tossed onto YouTube. Here is the first one.
That's a lot of Novell marketing material finding its way into YouTube in just one week. Who is responsible for this? Are arbitrary people voluntarily pushing Novell case studies for the public to watch? Who would 'pollute' a social network with advertisements, some of which used to be viral? ⬆

* What kind of pollution or disruption do you figure this is causing?
* YouTube has almost 80 million videos, and serves them about 100 million times a day. People upload 150,000 videos a day. You're worried about 4 Novell videos?
* Is this against the YouTube TOS? Something that Google forbids?
* Is it illegal?
* Did you search for videos from Oracle, Sun Microsystems, Computer Associates, Norton, Sybase? Video Professor? Funny Cats? Ringtone spam?
* Your collaborators disrupt and pollute other communities while promoting your blog. Are you planning on writing an article asking them to stop?
The last time you posted something about this, if I recall, you accused Novell employees of "astroturfing" YouYube or something like that, and you were then forced to modify your headline to reflect the fact that you were completely wrong.
Maybe during the period where you manually attach your silly red text to my comment you could find 5 minutes to reply as well? That would be grand. I'm having trouble understanding the idea behind this post. I don't want to just assume it's just that you hate Novell, you have a post quota to meet and you're bored.
Note: writer of this comment adds absolutely nothing but stalking and personal attacks against readers, as documented here.
ManCity replaced Manuel Pellegrini with a more famous manager it didn't envision winning 20 titles in 10 years (it could only hope) [...] Team-building is something that "Pep" seemed to be good at, as was Jürgen Klopp
IBM has fast-growing debt and liabilities, it does not intend to invest this kind of money, it's a smokescreen and false promises timed to alleviate the sagging share price (52-week low)
The "Mathematics Pope" (sometimes known as "Pope Pi") brought together science and religion, united against technofascists who are mostly college drop-outs who abhor women
"The present mentality around "AI" is like driving to the gym to use a treadmill - it's walking for people who hate fresh air and beautiful changing scenery."
Nowadays, in academia almost anywhere in the world, there's growing expectation that lecturers will spend not much of the time doing research or even teaching
