Sounds like the same marketing dude/dudette, who came up with the sun
temperature comparison for ink droplets.  ;-)

Subject: The 'New hp'

Was watching a football game last night, and hp ran an ad.  One part of
the
ad pointed out that hp might, someday, be able to make a cell phone so
small, that even an ant could use it.  My wife remarked that she thought
that was about the stupidest thing she'd ever heard of...why on earth
would
you even consider such an idiotic thing as producing a cell phone for an
ant?!!

I told my wife that while I couldn't dismiss the notion that hp may
actually
be trying to make cell phones for ants (I mean, just think of the number
of
phones they could sell!!), it was more likely that someone in the
marketing
department at hp thought that was a good analogy for showing folks how
small
we (they) could actually make things, to which my wife replied, well
then
the hp marketing people are idiots.

I didn't have an answer for that one.
