Default Dell/Intel Advertising - misleading?

I tried to post this a few months ago but my browser crashed. Seeing a Centrino ad on TV reminded me, and here it is:

Centrino Magazine Ad: Shows someone with a snazzy Centrino notebook in an airplane (that's airborne). They've connected to the web using 802.11b, and somewhere in the ad is says they're at 30,000 feet.

Centrino TV Ad: Two mountain climbers are on Mount Everest, struggling to make it to their tents in the blowing snow. Once inside, they whip out a Centrino notebook and are getting e-mail from their families. The ad says they're using 802.11b wireless.

Recent Dell TV Ad: Says that an upgrade from a CD-ROM to a CD burner is a $149 value.
