IBM has roots back in the 1930s, so it is possible that tech companies would have roots that far back. Not very likely (tech companies tend to have about a 30 year life before they are absorbed by something else or fall off the SOTA curve.)

I need Microsoft to fall off the SOTA curve, so I can start using Linux more.

Actually, I think they are doing it to themselves at this point.

all I need is the Googlebox to come out.

Don't fret when you see google.analytics spying on you for "Our Land" and the great Liberation Army... Axis of evil, indeed.

well, from what iv'e looked into, google dosn't see the need to market computers here in america. everyone's already got one.

however, in china, they are activly persuing the computer market. they've gone into negeotions with the chinease goverment. aparently, for the ability to get a computer in there and offer an internet service (and the ADS that pay google's budget into everyone's home there) they have already developed some censorship software, so that anti-goverment propaganda won't be aloud to circulate, and are installing it on all the machines over there.

what I'm afraid of, is the next generation of google hackers from china. 8 billion people, with nothing better to do, and an oppresive goverment... *shiver*
