- pyvpx 10y agoI know they have a quantum computer, Watson AI, and that Power architecture...but isn't IBM primarily a sales and consulting company? at least, by revenue and headcount?
- biofox 10y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Research https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Research According to Wikipedia, they are also the world's largest industrial research organization.
- orbifold 10y agoIBM spends a lot of money on research and development, as far as I can tell they just usually exit markets that don't have high margins.
- abhi3 10y agoIs yahoo really a technology company? IMO it's more of a media company.
- fma 10y agoAnything that publishes content for public consumption to get advertising revenue is a media company. Google publishes search results to get ads. Facebook published your information for ads. Twitter publishes your tweets for ads. I heard on the radio that someone proclaimed Facebook is now a media company...no, they've always been a media company.
- bbody 10y agoUnlike most technology companies, IBM has been around since before Warren was born. But in general he doesn't buy into technology companies, he is well quoted in that regard.
