Into the 2nd quarter now, and I see that IBM taking is credit for Linux, a technology it created. Whoops... No it didn't. That would be Linus Torvaldus. The whole thing is a bit like how Al Gore invented the Internet.

Maybe I am being too harsh. I suppose that IBM just wanted to equate Linux with Prodidy, the Internet-like service originally developed by that telecommunication pioneer, Sears or maybe they mean the other Prodigy. If its the later, IBM shows how truly "with-it" they are since Prodigy is nothing like Eminem.

Yet again, IBM proves that in the absence of actual vision or innovation, there are always vague advertisements as a substitute.
