I was about to make a comment myself about this pic but didn't know where
to. But really, what is this picture trying to convey? An Indian guy so
happy in having irritated a white fellow or this business guy so confused
after having discussed something with the indian? Don't get it!

It's really funny you mention that! About a month ago it was the focus of a
big discussion in our group....we all said the same thing.
One of the opinions of the picture that I thought was interesting was that
the old guy who represents "the business" is looking at the technical guy
like he's some kind of asshole. The opinion was that Cisco is showing how
there is a distaste by business people for technical people. This goes along
with Cisco whole new theme that they have equipment that is "self definding"
so business people no longer have to spend tons of money on network/ IT guys
and they can replace us with "smart" hardware.
Just a theory but an interesting one, I think.
Cisco has been showing in it's promotions lately a bunch of low end people
watching a screen and saying "wow, isn't cisco's gear great! It
automatically found a problem and fixed itself!"
