Palm Pre's creepy ads: They worked. You're still talking about them

There's a good bit of chatter today about the latest Palm Pre ad. In a nutshell, actress Tamara Hope, who oddly sort of resembles Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation, goes all abstract about the Palm Pre. And folks can't handle abstract...
