• IBM's New Image Recognition-Based Search
  
  Regardless of the reason for your memory loss, IBM is working on a tool that can help. Two such "divining" projects include CoPhIR (Content-based Photo Image Retrieval) Test-Collection and IBM's MUFIN (Multi-Feature Indexing Network). These projects tie into SAPIR's back end by extracting data from the Flickr archive and indexing features such as scalable color, color structure, color layout, shape edges and texture. We've all seen photos of ourselves in locations we can't quite remember. Often they're from exotic travels or from days long past.

• Is Your Company Brave Enough for Business Model Innovation?
  
  A recent Economic Times story detailed IBM's new "spoken Web" technology, which will allow users to browse the Internet and access information by speaking in their local language without having to type or otherwise use the computer keyboard. An IBM India lab is currently developing the technology and performing real-world tests with rural dairy farmers in India. The idea is that if IBM can remove barriers to accessing its enterprise resource planning technology, Big Blue may be able to unlock a large market selling ERP software to companies that source dairy and other foodstuffs from rural Indian farmers.

• Decoding Steve Jobs: Trust the Art, Not the Artist
  
  To me, the issue is more Jobs's approach to leadership itself — which, despite the compelling and cutting-edge quality of his products, is strangely unappetizing and often downright retro. It's a term I first heard from Jane Harper , a nearly 30-year veteran of IBM. Steve Jobs is back in the headlines, which got me thinking about this unique leader's legacy — and what, if anything, the rest of us can learn from how Jobs does his job. Whoever uttered the words, "trust the art, not the artist" must have had Steve Jobs in mind.

• The Business Value of Social Networks
  
  For example, a few years ago IBM invited employees to help create a set of guidelines and practical advice on how to best use social media.  The resulting IBM Social Computing Guidelines offer helpful, common sense advice.  Whereas in the past, people got access to leading edge technologies through their companies, ever since the advent of the Internet and World Wide Web in the late 1990s that has no longer been true.  “Thanks to The January 30 issue of The Economist included a special report on social networking.  Overall, the special report concludes: “that social

• Going Beyond User Generated Software: Web 2.0 and the Pragmatic Semantic Web
  
  quot; Like IBM is realizing with their exploration of end-user driven development products like QEDWiki, most of us today are already conducting much, if not most, of our software integration manually, by re-entering or cutting and pasting data endlessly between our applications. And while this -- and by " this " I mean recombinant, self-assembling software that exploits collective intelligence -- is certainly the cutting edge of software development, many companies are beginning to map out this terrain closely and I encourage you to begin tracking them along with

• Extreme Scale Computing
  
  Supercomputing has been a major part of my education and career, from the late 1960s when I was doing atomic and molecular calculations as a physics doctorate student at the University of Chicago, to the early 1990s when I was general manager of IBM's SP family of parallel supercomputers. The performance advances of supercomputers in these past decades have been remarkable.  The pursuit of exascale-class systems was a hot topic at the recent SC09 supercomputing conference.   In the quest for the fastest machines, supercomputers have always been at the leading edge

• What is Cloud Computing, Anyway?
  
  Advances in video games and massively multiplayer online games will undoubtedly be reflected in the kind of user experiences offered by leading-edge cloud-based services. Same with IT companies like IBM that have embraced cloud computing so they can offer cloud-based systems, software and services to their customers. When we first started the IBM Internet Division and launched the e-business In a recent blog I summarized the discussions around cloud computing at the conference I had just attended by writing that "something big and profound seems to be going on, although we are not totally sure what it is yet."

• Cycles, chasms and the hype curve
  
  We had a lot of initial success although we skated on the edge of closure several times. That was what we needed to commit the organisation and over the next two years the programme came to dominate our sales, came second to Windows 95 in the integrated marketing awards and was one of the factors in making DataSciences attractive to IBM. A few days ago I posted on Praxis using Handy's sigmoid curves. I
