There are so many experts who know what’s wrong with the world and parts of it like IBM, that I wonder why they are driving cabs, cutting hair and tending bars instead fixing the things and places they know so much about.

For accuracy, perhaps you should post the “Lenovo” symbol as well.

You know.

The IBM PC company, the original, the IBM subsidiary that is now owned by the People Republic of China?

Reducing employees by more than three quarters in three years is a bold and difficult task. What will it leave behind? Who, under this plan, will still be a US IBM employee in 2015? Top management will remain, the sales organization will endure, as will employees working on US government contracts that require workers to be US citizens. Everyone else will be gone. Everyone.

Does this mean uh...the popularity of the company is waning?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no...no, no, not at all. I, I, I just think that the.. uh.. their appeal is becoming more selective.

Hmmm - if this is what IBM wants, maybe it would be good for all US based businesses to stop doing business with IBM - maybe they should change their name to non-US-BM
