Although the company hasn’t used the “think” marketing term in its television ads for years, IBM is definitely one of the smartest tech companies around. In many ways, IBM transitioned from bring a PC manufacturer to a think tank that creates ideas—and charges the analyst fees you would expect if you want to hear about those ideas. Yet, in the IBM Research arm, there are lofty goals: to create the next kind of storage technology; one that is much faster yet less harmful on the environment, or to invent ways to read data from physical objects, such as a bridge or a waterway, that have not been known for being highly connected. Each of these research projects is particularly interesting from a PC computing perspective because they will likely make their way into your home or place of work in the next ten years. In some cases, the research has already made an impact. Each project solves a puzzling computing problem, and will help usher in an age of more ubiquitous computing. |

yeah , ibm has one of the largest patent portfolio .
I wonder if mote runner could solve the problem siemens has with its cts systems! (ie they don't work anywhere near as good as they do in theory, because they employ a million different sensors and need different staffing depending on the hardware - and at siemens there's no such word as teamwork)
no supercomputing elements?
Wasn't IBM the first to introduce PC? I dare to call it the God Father of technology!
And they still cannot make a decent email client
Also it's a pitty IBM couldn't convince Apple to keep PowerPC laptops (even moving to Intel Macbooks at the sametime), and also for not bring back a new version of OS/2 operating system in the same line of MacOS.
For the ones that remember the old OS/2 Warp it was a great operating system very stable with excelent multitasking capabilities.
IBM? A mere PC manufacturer? OMG! That is mind-shatteringly terrible -- 30 seconds of research would have told you that your understanding of IBM's history is hopelessly and ineptly inaccurate!
Poor.
Seriously poor.

was it? I remember we bought it simply because it was cheaper to buy the os and format the floppies than buy floppies individually!
IBM acronym I Blame Microsoft
Nope. Not reading any further!
The move to multi-core is not driven by lithographic limitations but instead by device leakage/Power/thermal envelope putting a limitation on maximum clock frequency. Jobs can only be executed faster now if they can be distributed over many cores. Lithography is enabling multi-cores: 2 cores per chip 2 years ago, now 6 and soon 8 cores per chip.

Nah. IBM these days stands for "India-Based Manpower".

LOL, conspiracy theories. Be careful IBM knows where you live, and even your dreams. Tin foil helps.
Dear IBM,
Please come back home.

I think IBM have the right attitude, this isnt a list of consumer products, not yet anyway.
Billions are being spent on research where the ultimate aim is... discovery!!!
Some of these ideas may have serious commercial applications, some may not, but all of them are amazing. Working in IBM's R&D division must be like "Eureka" but without all the sci-fi adventures.
All this is paid for with boring corporate ebusiness stuff, etc, etc.
I can imagine it like a stuffy accountancy company ploughing it's profits into going snowboarding at weekends
The vampire that never dies! IBM!
IBM - Internatioal Business Machines.. *cough*
