BBDO uses vibrating windows to transmit ads directly into your head! WTF?

That's right, you passed out on the light rail ride home across town and you wake up and cant wait to go buy a pair of new Calvin Klein boxer shorts. Why in the world would I want to do that at 2AM? Why because while your head was lying against the windows you were hearing ads courtesy of the mega ad company BBDO. Their new product transfers high-frequency vibrations to the windowpane, which a person can hear through bone conduction by simply lying their head against the glass.

 "BBDO also said this technology could be used beyond advertising: e.g. music, entertainment, transport information, weather, etc. The same sound transmission technology has been used in some headphones and hearing aids."

Installing Cisco ASDM 6.1 on Windows 8 Fails with Java Error: "Java Runtime Environment is not installed on this machine."

When trying to install the Cisco ASDM 6.1 on Windows 8 you might get the following error:

Cisco ASDM-IDM Launcher Information

Java Runtime Environment is not installed on this machine. Please install Java Runtime Environment from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/

I tried installing several versions of 32 and 64 bit Java and running in compatibility mode. Basically, i settled on using the Java Web Start version, that can be found on the main web portal page. Or it can be launched by using the following link (of course insert your IP address in the first part).

This works fine with Windows 8.
