Slow spots in the second quarter included personal computers, hard disk drives and microelectronics, and those would continue to hurt IBM in the months ahead, the company said. Services, mainframe computer sales and sales of data storage products were cited by IBM as doing well.

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.
