Did anyone else notice that the vignettes about Watson's creation featured IBM researchers using MacBook Pros? So much for "International Business Machines." ;)
As a former IBM employee, you can pretty much use what ever type of machine you want for your work as long as it doesn't interfere with what you do. There is a significant Mac subculture internal to IBM, and they love and suppor it. However a huge percent of their 600,000 employee's still use IBM branded laptop's and desktop's.
