What is IBM advertising exactly?

[superqt4u2nv]

I have a cloud.

What is a cloud?

A cloud is a computer surrounded by other computers and it makes me smart.

My cloud makes my electric bill cheaper.

Don't forget I am worldwide I have an accent.

My cloud makes the world better.

Don't forget I am a woman, and I may be an asian cloud too, or black. Or white.

My cloud makes me avoid traffic.

I'm an IBM'er my cloud makes the world better.

What am I supposed to call them up and ask them for?

Think google apps, sales force and microsoft now, virtaulized applications via the interweb great idea but you must assume your network is always up or your FUBAR.

IBM is making a killing these days with large scale contracts. Especially worldwide. and yeah - they're trying to appeal to the young week smoking hipsters out there.

Funny, coming from a firm that forces ties, suits, no piercings or tats.

Global services has and always will be there top gross profit product line.

Hmm. I don't see why they advertise that during football games.

Jesus Christ you guys actually know what this shit is.

I guess somebody needs to catch up on the last few years of Popular Science...

A lot of IT guys watch football one of my old customers was a huge bills fan actually a huge sports fan in general. They are not all nerds that is for sure but good lord the ones that are nerds

I remember laying in a fresh cut field looking up at the sky on a beautiful fall day and thinking ... all the clouds looks like vags

And then you ran for cover screaming "the sky is full of roast beef!!! Make it go away! Fly away fish! Vestigial organs everywhere! Ahhhhhh!"

they're dress code is extremely lax for programmers.

Unless you have to interface with the customer there really isnt one to be honest.

With multithreading and AI advancements these days...won't be long before Skynet takes over!

Raises hand hoping to be part of the team for the modern version of HAL!

It's really more about the programmer and compiler now than it is about the hardware.

You can wire together 1,000 multicore processors but now it's all about distributing the code to use all the hardware more evenly.

Well, yeah, I considered this to be honest. Bur when I took into account the flux capacitor I had to rule out the multicore code distribution element entirely.

they must've been forced to change lately. Last time I went, their offices were all guys wearing white shirts, ties and black slacks. It was like a picture from the 50's.
