Trust and f-e-a-r
by Volker Weber
I recently speculated how IBM wants to grow sales revenues short term with some audit fear mongering. Here is a slide that shows IBM's dreams. Keep this in mind when IBM reports tremendous growth next time.
The presentation contains a possible explanation of this "honesty gap" that made me chuckle:
Customer does not understand IBM's terms and conditionsHere is your task should you chose to accept it: Try to find an IBMer who understands IBM's terms and conditions.
Comments
The uncertainty principle applies. An IBMer can understand the terms, or the conditions; but if he were to attempt to understand both the terms and conditions, at least one of them would change.
