Can't think of any good ones at the moment.

When will Johnson learn...Its not about marketing name recognition and financial horsepower alone. Its about good/honest/fair frontliners. This IBM connection may eventually bear some technological advances....but by the time they get a half way good solution implemented ..the bar will be higher yet.
They just move too slow... They are like a has been heavy weight boxer who eats a dozen doughnuts every morning for breakfast.
