Overlooked by Mainstream Press? Series of Articles on IBM by Cringely


Well-known tech blogger Robert Cringely has written a series of articles about IBM on his web site blog www.cringely.com.  I'm not a follower of IBM so I have no idea whether what Cringely is saying is true.  The allegations are sensational, having to do with alleged plans by IBM to cut its workforce in the U.S. and Canada by 70-85% in the next few years, by offshoring its service workers.  The articles have been ignored by the mainstream press.  This is surprising, given Cringely's stature in the tech world.  I'm betting it will be picked up somewhere by Big Media sometime in next few weeks.  Similar to the Trayvon Martin story, maybe this has to percolate for a while before it gets picked up by the big guys.  If so, you heard it here first!
