The IBM Systems Agenda: iB(M)
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

Be careful what you ask for, because the universe has a sense of humor. It often gives you something that sounds like what you asked for, but when you examine very carefully what you got, it is not exactly what you wanted. It's a little bit off to one side or another, twisted in an ironic way, or just plain wrong because the universe doesn't listen to us--we are supposed to listen to it.

Q&A with the Dynamic Duo for iSeries Marketing and Sales
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

When Mark Shearer took over as general manager of the iSeries Division in January of this year, he took over a business that had seen better times financially but that also had a staunch group of customers and a fired-up vice president of marketing, Peter Bingaman, who was hired by Shearer's short-lived predecessor, Mike Borman.

p5 Power5+ Machines Preview Possible Future i5s
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

It's the first week in October, and that is one of the traditional times for IBM to inject its latest Power processor technology into its Unix-based server lines and chase a little competitive money in the final quarter of the year. Customers using i5 machines have been told that they were not going to get the Power5+ processors in their machines this year, but the advent of the Power5+ presents some interesting possibilities for the i5 line in 2006.

As I See It: The Dog Ate My Manners
by Victor Rozek

Being human is a clumsy thing. Our minds are limited, our emotions are messy. The hurtful behaviors and petty rudeness we inflict on each other provide daily evidence of our inability to maintain equilibrium and civility during times of stress. And stress, like the evidence for global warming, is on the rise. Whether it's the erosion of middle class jobs, unaffordable health care, or living on the Gulf Coast waiting for the next hurricane to blow your house down, modern life offers no shortage of reasons to rage.
