IBM takes over the world (in its dreams)
It's good to see IBM acquiring only the top global companies to help it to its goal of world domination. So when Big Blue said today it would acquire Vallent, and, quote from the company's news announcement sent to us, "a worldwide (with offices in Richmond and Bath) company", we couldn't help but be impressed. Forgive me, but isn't Richmond only famous for a) a park and b) its proximity to the home of English Rugby? Not exactly world dominating, IBM?
