The Transistor was invented by Bell Labs not IBM. Just so you know.

Where is any implication that IBM developed the transistor? Apparently the esoteric point (ie objectives of fundamental research verses creating a useful products) was overlooked.
Google has done something that other once successful companies did and do no more - ie GM, Sears, Xerox, and GE. And the so many that are now gone because they stopped doing it - ie Kodak, CDC, Unisys, ship builders, TWA, Pullman, AT&T, Goodrich, Polaroid, and various steel manufacturers. Gravdigr's citation makes a same point. That point was quoted. |
