2002 was the same year it was concluded by local tests just how bad the problems actually were.
Maybe the supercomputer can calculate the logic behind that. |

Now, now. Let's not be unfair to the giant corporation. Corporations are people too! They make mistakes just like everyone else. Couldn't this just be a ruse by Apple to sell more iPods? I think this is exactly why we need tort reform.

I think he did the right thing if this was, in fact, his post.

What journalist that has any credibility gives their opinion on the subject of their article? That undermines their credibility...not exactly fair and balanced.

The subject of the article was the computer IBM was building, not IBM itself. If he were to put the information in the article itself, it would come across as (and would be) completely biased. It's also not relevant to the story being reported.
That being said, Karl has misgivings with IBM for their environmental record. If he wants to comment on a story as a regular BBRer, that's his right. He did the appropriate thing and left it to the comments section instead of the article itself.
Furthermore, if you don't like how things are done here, you can leave. If you think there's some sort of bias, why stay? Go somewhere that you feel comfortable.

That's also my right as a BBR user.

That's also my right as a BBR user. So if Karl reports on a company, he can't make a comment? His reporting was straight and non-biased, but you have a problem with him making comments in the appropriate place?
That's like saying TV reporters can't have opinions. If they do their job and are fair in their reporting, does it matter? I don't think so.
Again, how did his post affect this article or its reporting? His post only had to do with the article for the fact that it was about IBM. It had nothing to do with the super-computer in the article, except his snide remark about using it to find a cure for cancer.

Once they do, they risk being trusted. It's that simple.
You avoid the topic with your right-to-opinion rhetoric. I suppose you can't come up with any real arguments that are pertinent.

Terrible. Just terrible. I trully feel for the people who's teenage kids are developing rare cancers so we could've played with an IBM XT back in the 80's.
This is the first time I have seen this and I'm a NY resident. I will never again spend any money on anything made/sold by IBM, no matter how good the gear is.
They're permanently being added to my do-not-spend-a-cent-on list.
I'm not impressed and deeply saddened.

I hope you like Intel. VIA's Centaur Technology division is moving over to IBM, AMD is partnering with IBM for their 65nm process (see above), Apple's processors are made in IBM's East Fishkill fab and Transmeta's future looks questionable.
