Maybe it's just their way of saying there is no more future left in their industry, they don't believe the can compete and are slowly shutting down? So what? businesses do this all of the time. This is just a way of soaking up as much money on the way out as opposed to eventual bankruptcy.
Or maybe it's there way of saying there is little future left in the US. Maybe Brazil / India / China / etc. are the growth centers they're banking on. Maybe then it makes lots of sense to 'outsource' those functions.
To the people who will be paying for them.
There are companies that look beyond the next quarter. IBM tends to be one of them.
Also posting anonymously because I've been a grunt on the inside. It doesn't matter if the timing of his numbers is right, the bigger picture is definitely there.
IBM employees in the Americas need to unionize. Yesterday.
I use Dropbox as a backup system - part of a rational, multi component program. The Dropbox data is on every machine I have the account on (three currently), so that's different local stores - one at home, one at work, one in my backpack, one in the cloud. Personal info is encrypted in sparseimages - I could use truecrypt as well if I really wanted a multi platform solution.
It doesn't backup everything - my terabyte collection of pictures and video is backed up locally using a NAS and external drives - but Dropbox is hella convenient for some data. And pretty safe. If Dropbox went belly up tomorrow, I would be missing just one out of three copies of the data.
No, the Russians used to get most aerospace intelligence from the magazine 'Aviation Week and Space Technology' (usually referred to as 'Aviation Leak').
And there reporters weren't even remotely good looking.

Points, condenser, coil. That's it. Also my radio is a tube radio so likely somewhat resistant to EMP. I only drive vehicles '60s or older.
Who would have guessed that the survivors of the apocalypse would be .... grandpa?
horse power?
He said 'hp's'. I can get hundreds, literally thousands of hp's by downloading stuff. In fact, they must have thousands of printer drivers alone!

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Yeah, right - because "In the beginning God .... " is such a logical framework.
Or, are you more of a 'turtles all the way down' sort of guy?
I prefer to keep my displays dumb and put the smarts elsewhere.
The problem is that, for much of the viewing audience, there is no 'elsewhere'.
I have a cluster of 4 CFL floodlights on the exterior of my South Louisiana home that burn pretty much 24/7
Why? Don't they have switches in Louisiana?
Maybe we should stop monocropping the world.
Cutting down on the human population certainly would help the rest of the planet.
You don't want to do anything complex in a PDF. That's just a set up for failure to display, trojans and other malware.
Our government understands this sort of thing. Progress as promised!

Must of missed that auction on E-bay. Damn.
I have no idea where the B-52 are now, Google Maps doesn't show a single one now.
The American Southwest. Home of the boneyards.
Because, when you buy a 747, Yoyodyne gets to sell 747s to a bunch of other people. R&D is amortized over a large number, calculated in advance.
The US government is going to look askance at you attempting to buy a B-2. Privilege has it's price.
Yeah, I thought the article was about the rock group. I suddenly felt old, very, very old. Fortunately, it's not that bad. I'm just old.
Really, they just need to RTFM (and cough up a metric shitload of money).
Easy peasy.
A more important question is why would anyone take anything said at "ITWorld" as factual?
It's not just ITWorld's say-so. They cite this WSJ article, which also says so.
Oh, now you're really bumping up the truthiness.
Will the bootloader be locked or unlocked? It would be nice to have a secure variant of CM7 or CM9 on this device.
On a secure device?
On a device that security would depend on complete control of it's configuration?
The answer is left as an exercise for the student.
Damnit, I was really hoping somebody invented Time Travel. I really need to fix my High School experience.
But I suppose it's for the best. I could never afford CS24. That would cost something along the GDP of Canada.
Which is what Apple did. I IPv6 is still there. You just can't get to it... (At least in the current software, using the older firmware still works).
err. there, their - what the hell. This time it's my brain's fault.

'tdcs' is either a typo or you are some sort of really perverse acronym addict. You could at least capitalize the thing.
Maybe gstrickler has a point. Have you considered switching careers?
If dealing drugs doesn't work, you could always try politics.
Yeah, CLI's suck. Should have been given a Mac...
