I'm just wondering. What has IBM been doing besides WATSON. I cant get a stright/clear answer. Anyone one of those IBMers here also?

 

EDIT: I use the LENOVO Thinkpad P70 in its highest configuration

Until OEMs start producing bloatware free windows machines, expect to see more of this nonsense. At least with Windows 10 you can download an ISO from MS and get a clean one

Lenovo was fine until they designed and made the T520, W520, etc. The T, W, etc. 510 and under were great! IBM will always have my backing.

Dad sold so many T50s that I lost count. They were great laptops. Same with T60.

Instructions for frustration management:  

1) Sit at desk.   2) Repeatedly slam forehead against desk.

 

I never said I was smart, just smart enough to be dangerous.

 

 

ORLY?

Did you know that IBM helped Hitler with his genocide of the Jews?

Ford did the same, Ford is actually quite hateful towards the Jews.

 

Just so you know the history of the company is the only reason I responded. I made an ethical choice to not buy IBM.

 

http://www.11points.com/News-Politics/11_Companies_That_Surprisingly_Collaborated_With_the_Nazis

 

Quote

IBM. IBM custom-build machines for the Nazis that they could use to track everything... from oil supplies to train schedules into death camps to Jewish bank accounts to individual Holocaust victims themselves.

In September of 1939, when Germany invaded Poland, the "New York Times" reported that three million Jews were going to be "immediately removed" from Poland and were likely going to be "exterminat[ed]."

IBM's reaction? An internal memo saying that, due to that "situation", they really needed to step up production on high-speed alphabetizing equipment. (Source: CNet)
 

Ford

Quote

Ford. Henry Ford is a pretty legendary anti-Semite, so this makes sense. He was Hitler's most famous foreign backer. On his 75th birthday, in 1938, Ford received a Nazi medal, designed for "distinguished foreigners."

He profiteered off both sides of the War -- he was producing vehicles for the Nazis AND for the Allies.

I'm wondering if, in a completely misguided piece of logic, Allianz points to the Detroit Lions giving Ford the naming rights to their stadium as a reason why they should get the rights to the Meadowlands. (Source: Reformed Theology)

Only on consumer machines, Think-branded machines are unaffected. They're still solid machines, even with Lenovo's track record. Comprehensive BIOS,  tank build quality, etc. I still like my EliteBooks, but the older ones were better :P

idk

We have a bunch of Lenovo Thinkpads at work with Broadwell i7s in them. They're pretty meh to be honest but I still prefer them over the Asus laptops we have with i7s and 960m's which have god awful slow HDDs which makes Windows have horrible response times along with overall terrible battery life.

IBM sold their home market to Lenovo and only focuses on AI and server solutions.

IBM sold their server market to Lenovo also. I think they just collect money from all patents.

I use some IBM/Lenovo servers, they're mostly in Business technology now, as is their name after all. Do they own Lenovo or vice versa, because they work with each other an awful lot. 

Yours faithfully

The big corporate ones, or the Thinkservers and server racks?  I meant like the ones that cost 75 grand-5 million.

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-lenovo-ibm-deals-idUSKCN0HO08N20140929

 

I don't know so much about servers. But that reads that Lenovo had smaller server business before deal and now they have it all. Or something like that.

They only sold the intel-based server business to Lenovo. (the smaller stuff)

For their massive corporate servers, they sold their proprietary hardware manufacturing to GlobalFoundries, and now they sell their "own" hardware which is purchased from semiconductor foundries, much the same way AMD does.

I am an ethical buyer, prefer not to buy from companies that supported and helped genocide.
