It appears that I might be clueless. Maybe they will revamp the company into the default search engine of the internet. Maybe they will own a cloud service for companies to automatic data mining.
- dasht 16y agoI am perplexed why the comment above ("revamp the company into the default search engine") got down voted. I saw this research as evidence that IBM is quite interested in search. I'm not so sure they want to go head to head with Google or Bing or the others but if this research isn't about search then I don't know what would be.
- benkant 16y agoIBM isn't going anywhere. For a start their consulting arms (Global Business|Technology Services) make up the bulk of their revenue. And that business is booming. IBM has always been at the forefront of research. IIRC they have more patents than anyone. Trust me, they're not going anywhere soon. In fact, I'd wager we'll see the end of Microsoft before we see the end of IBM.
