In 2006, I was lucky enough to get in on an analyst briefing at IBM’s Alamaden Research Centre, near San Jose. It was a memorable day. The place itself – a monumental California modernist building on a hilltop – is striking. And they kept a copy ... More >>

Friday, 24 May 2013, 11:59 am | Public Address

Monday, 22 April 2013, 11:28 am | Public Address
