Posted in Microsoft, Novell, Videos at 9:27 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

YouTube a haven from media/industry brainwash; let’s keep it that way

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? █
