- th0br0 11y agoI'm guessing you're supposed to associate "Aaah" and "Oh" as in Oh-culus, but I agree: that's a terrible filler for your first product page.

- aaron-lebo 11y agoThat was my immediate thought as well. Their choice of a scruffy looking guy (nothing wrong with it in and of itself) says a lot about their intended audience. Hard to imagine Apple or Google marketing a product with that kind of imaging.

- robertfw 11y agoAs a "scruffy looking guy", what does it tell you? I'm curious what you are able to glean about me and other "scruffies" by virtue of our facial hair
- aaron-lebo 11y agoI don't have any problems with you being scruffy looking :), I'm just saying a lot of people do have a reaction to it, which is why most companies go out of their way to use clean cut people. It's not personal, just an observation.
