Big Blue posted a profit of $2 billion, or $1.15 per share -- a dip from the $21.65 billion second quarter in 2000, the company said. However, the company said in a statement that its sales actually grew by 5% -- depending how you looked at the numbers. SOURCE: CRN http://www.crn.com/Sections/BreakingNews/BreakingNews.asp?ArticleID=28330 [2] "For 14 LPPs, it's so long Software Subscription, hello Software Maintenance" Beginning next year, Software Subscription will no longer cover several software products, but users will still get a year's worth of technical support and upgrade maintenance included in the original purchase price. And if Rochester likes the way this new pricing and maintenance model works, it might apply it to the rest of the iSeries' software products.

Big Blue has developed an "Artificial Passenger" to keep travel weary drivers awake at the wheel. The system changes radio stations to see if the driver notices, cracks jokes, and includes a conversation planner program that asks questions and measures response times to determine if you're dozing in the driver's seat. If the computer receives a sluggish response it squirts a chilling shot of ice water in your face. Suggestions for an optional Three Stooges package that sprays seltzer instead of water and then calls you a "knucklehead," have been dismissed.
