The first paragraphs of this article are so nakedly biased that it's hard to take the rest seriously:<p>> IBM's financial performance has shown steady improvement ever since the mid-'90s, when the internet made "work from home" practical, using tools that IBM pioneered, like email, groupware, and Web conferencing.<p>> IBM hasn't had an unprofitable year since 1994, and its revenue per share has more tripled since then.<p>This makes it sound like IBM is doing great, instead of mentioning that IBM's revenue has fallen for <i>twenty</i> straight quarters, when other large tech companies have been booming.<p>> During that period, IBM has created more innovation than any other company. In 2016 alone, IBM filed more patents than Google, Apple, and Microsoft combined.<p>Equating number of patents filed with "innovation" is absurd. IBM files a ton of patents because they are in the patent licensing business.
