I highlight the classic HAL and IBM connection in 2001: A Space Odyssey while pointing to a clever genetic pun found in the title of the film Gattaca, which references DNA base sequences.
I highlighted Pun of the Day, a website featuring a massive collection of user-submitted puns and daily jokes. It is a simple, dedicated resource for anyone who enjoys clever wordplay and linguistic humor.
I highlighted Hal Varian's extensive repository of resources on the information economy. His curated collection provides essential links for understanding how economic principles apply to digital data, intellectual property, and networked markets.
I explore an Economist article comparing Microsoft’s 2002 challenges to IBM’s 1982 decline. It highlights that Microsoft's ability to adapt and prosper hinges on its capacity to build trust and navigate long-term antitrust pressures.
I noted IBM's $3.5 billion acquisition of PwC Consulting, comparing it to HP's previous $18 billion offer. I observed that IBM's stock price stayed steady, suggesting they may have secured a bargain on the deal.
I found a series of hilarious restaurant signboards by Mickey Kapoor. He creates clever pun-based retorts to the neighboring Pappadeaux's signs, turning simple business advertising into a public display of wordplay and lighthearted rivalry.
