Some say that a real leader is one who knows when to lead and when to follow. In the case of the tech sector, executives in leadership roles have a tendency to be deposed (usually for failing to meet a financial goal the company set), retire, or quite to move on to their next big project or company. It is a rare leader who is willing to give up the lion’s share of control for the benefit of their company and yet continue to work under their successor. Samuel J. Palmisano, former CEO of IBM, is one such impressive leader. Read more »

There are so many workers who strive to get their foot in the door with one of the big tech companies, so it can be surprising to hear about all of the people who leave the giants of the tech sector to work for smaller companies. After years of working for companies with more than ten thousand employees, though, it can be nice to go work for a smaller company. Often executives who do are given greater responsibility and flexibility and that may lead them to a greater sense of satisfaction than they had at the bigger company. With more than a decade working for IBM and Lenovo, Brenda Grissom is now finding satisfaction and stimulation at Grissom Sheet Metal! Read more »
The dream story of the American worker is one where an individual with an aptitude for a skill can find work at a big company to earn a living. Over years, with hard work and additional training/education, the dream of the worker is to someday take over management of the company they started at. That dream comes true with increasingly less frequency as competition, mergers, and radical shifts in the marketplace have companies rising and falling faster than ever. But one of the great success stories for the American dream came true recently when Virginia Rometty took the reins at IBM! Read more »
IBM is a company known for its research into impossible technologies, which its scientists somehow make possible. They may have just done it again, by creating a microchip that can transfer information at the speed of nearly one terabit per second. IBM’s experimental microchip runs at eight times the speed of other chips. Read more »
For Rescuecom’s dedicated Blog readers: An Exclusive first look at this year’s Computer Reliability Report! The results are in for RESCUECOM’s Annual 2012 Computer Reliability Report; Lenovo/IBM returns to dominance while Samsung grows significantly!
“Entering 2012, Lenovo/IBM’s rise in reliability will be an important boost for the company. Although Apple’s market share has risen over the last 12 months, its reliability has declined. The comparatively smaller Toshiba and Samsung are illustrating interesting reliability trends worth watching over the coming year,” stated David Milman, CEO of RESCUECOM. For 2012, Rescuecom now includes all manufacturers with a market share of at least above one percent in this report.
The Computer Reliability Report scores for 2012 are:
Every major industry has a merchandising arm designed to attract business. If you have ever been to a medical conference, you may have gotten nauseated seeing how much money pharmaceutical companies pour into some of the weirdest swag in the world. So, it ought to be utterly unsurprising that computer companies have similar merchandising arms. Apple, for example, has an entire line of products from clothes to pocket knives. Similarly, to commemorate the defeat of a human chess player by the supercomputer Watson, IBM has produced some limited clothing.
The Watson cap is a black baseball cap that features the Watson logo on it! Clearly IBM wanted Watson to be able to identify who in a crowd was allied with the supercomputer as this hat is made of quality materials. The cloth of the hat is enzyme washed cotton twill and the adjustable strap on the back of the hat is fabric and features a buckle and grommet design. IBM made the strap padded for comfort and easy adjustment for different head sizes. What truly separates the Watson hat from cheap baseball caps is the embroidered Watson symbol on it. Instead of just silk screening the bright blue and green symbol on the black cap, IBM embroidered the symbol so it will not chip off or fade as easily!
