Happy 100th Birthday, IBM<\/a>! Yup, after the stunning announcement in March, blazing acquisition in April, and furious integration through May, I finally became an official IBMer on June 1st. Yup, photo ID badges too, hehe. But guess what? Just two weeks later, IBM celebrated its 100th birthday on June 16th. What monumental timing!<\/p>\n

To celebrate, feel free to peek at this illuminating and inspiring YouTube video: IBM Centennial Film: 100 X 100 – A century of achievements that have changed the world<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Proud to be a newbie IBMer, hehe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
