Looks like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjBDfZZQz54 no ?

@Martinbrepost, why not just focus on the creative process that have been involved and is being expressed in the video, rather than focusing on the fact that it is a commercial?

I remember seeing this in the 4th year of school.. long time no see

#1 that was the original animated commercial, they made it for real.

#3 Have you paid attention at the beggining of the video, when it says "inspired by the Animusic"? Genius!

Wow! I remember watching the original video and thinking "this would be impossible in real life because you could never rely on the balls to bounce in such a predictable way---the slightest deviation would ruin the effect". I stand corrected!

#6 Didnt impress me...

Oh god, i remember watching this as an animation and they made it real. Technology still impresses me and gives me hope. By the way #1 by your logic all the music instruments are pointless

There are some genius who made 3d videos of impossible machines ... and other genius who made them for real !

Since you mention it, Sizzlik (#13), Intel has built a major plant on stolen land in Palestine. See http://www.inminds.co.uk/boycott-intel.html for details. They *may* be a charitable organisation in other ways, but profiting from the land of dispossessed people isn't nice.

"What would be there if things were different?"

The original Palestinian villages would still be there, occupied by their rightful owners, in accordance with international law and guarantees given by Israel (and immediately broken) that those people would be "fully secure in their persons, abodes, property and personal effects".

Given that those villages were razed to the ground and their inhabitants driven out, I doubt very much that Intel is providing much employment to Palestinians there.

#12 - when you understand that artisans are going to create whether there are starving people across the world, or they themselves are starving, you'll understand the world a bit better.

#10 not all of them, just these...

3 Operating systems. Linux, Unix and...?

#16 There never was a Palestinian people or a nation called Palestine. The Arabs invented the term after the fact. The so-called Palestinians lived mostly in Jordan and Syria. Yasser Arafat, the leader of the so-called “Palestinians,” was actually an Egyptian!

Back on March 31, 1977, the Dutch newspaper "Trouw" published an interview it had with Palestine Liberation Organization executive committee member Zahir Muhsein. This is what he had to say:

"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people' to oppose Zionism."
Israel's claim to that land historically goes back thousands of years.

So one quote from one Arab in 1977 justifies the razing of a village 29 years earlier?

And back to the video: I claim partly fake, more precisely the music itself. To me it seems that those plastic pieces cannot make the sound you actually hear. Still good coordination though.

#21 That quote was from a representative of the ruling body of the PLO,a terrorist group,and he is expressing the view of the Palestinian authority.
Three-quarters of the land the Palestinians say was "theirs" is actually half of Jordan,but you don't see them sending rockets into Jordan,do you? They just want to destroy Israel because their book tells them that is required by their god. Silly stuff.

#23 even if true that this Zahir Muhsein *was* somehow representing official PLO policy (and there are grounds to believe that he wasn't since he was in conflict with other PLO factions according to Wiki) it's an irrelevant point in any case. It's a fact that the village was destroyed and the land was taken from its original owners (unless you subscribe to the notion that the land has always belonged to the Jewish tribes and that anyone else on that land is somehow squatting). It's also a fact that Intel built its plant on that land. I'll leave it there since this has been a long digression from the video.

Back on topic somewhat...

#24 Yup, Sizzlik, it looks like the best they were able to do under the circumstances. The original machine would have been impossible to replicate. I suspect that the machine plays the tune regardless of when and where the balls strike. But it's damn impressive even so.

#14. Using an anti Israel website to make a point shows your affiliation with them.

Blending Liberal arts and modern technology

No affiliation #26, I knew Intel had built the plant but I needed to Google up a reference to support it.
