IBM Epitimizes The New World Order
Here's a company, for better or for worse, has taken to open source like stink on you know what. The top guys @ IBM deserve everyone's applause for really getting its burgers worth out of the "something for nothing" concept.

Here is a company who has officially commercialized the socialist ideologue underpinning "open source". Think of the potential to IBM's bottom line if they continue to get all these poor schleps to work for free.

At some point, IBM will just be a shell of a company, making billions of dollars in profit, while mindless drones churn out code, engineering designs, etc.

It certainly makes for a very Matrix like screenplay for Hollywood.
