Nike Commercial Just Doesn't Do It

Dr. Lee Cronk, an anthropologist at the University of Cincinnatti who spent two years in Kenya studying the Samburu tribe, took particular note when he saw a new commercial for Nike running shoes. The comercial depicts Samburu tribesmen running in northern Kenya. The camera slowly pans down to show them wearing new Nikes. One of the tribesmen speaks in the Maa language, and a

subtitle flashes Nike's latest slogan: "Just do it." Not exactly a literal translation, said Cronk, who knows the language. "What he is really saying is, 'I don't want these. Give me big shoes.'"

"I don't think he had anything against Nikes. I'm sure he thought they were great shoes. I don't see why they should change it. It is really kind of harmless."

We've all heard the stories. Stories about innocently searching the internet with Internet Explorer when, all of a sudden, all the alarms are going off with your virus scanner. Programs are installing themselves. Warnings about Smitfraud-C, SpyAxe, and Vcodec are popping up on your screen.

And some of us have had firsthand experience. Firsthand experience that has led us away from IE and to other browsers like Firefox.

And why is that? Well, virus writers are generally going to be trying to get the most bang for their buck, ,just like everyone else. That's why. And IE currently provides them with that. It still has the largest market share, likely due in large part that it comes preinstalled on most computers.

But just because it's preinstalled doesn't mean you have to use it and expose yourself to all the spyware and virii targetted to it. You can do what an ever growing portion of users out there are doing. You can switch to
