Anyway, I was actually trying to help. From the last few weeks I can see that is not wanted. I will concentrate on actually producing some artwork as soon as I can get the time to do it as it has become clear to me that the atmosphere around here isn't what I mistook it for. To be clear, I don't feel offended. Mo telling me on IRC is was full of bullshit didn't offend me and so didn't anything else. I believe in telling people what I think and can very well take the reverse, but I understand that this isn't wanted in many places. I also didn't want to offend anyone of you, I was just trying to pass on what I thought was a valid point.
See you around,
Fab

in the subway with the iPad phallically placed between the user's legs.

Have you actually tried to lay back with a tablet or even a book in that
position? It's not exactly comfortable. (well at least not for me, it
takes a bit of contortion.)
No. The reason we can't compete is because this much ado is made and

time wasted about a filler slogan in a mockup. It's like writing a
restaurant review of a dish while it's still uncooked in the pan.
Now, if all that energy could be harnessed towards instead making
advertising that subliminally convinces viewers that Fedora will endow
them in a desirable way....
