Managing Risk: A Global Challenge that Must Be Confronted
14 May 2012 | 11:10 pmMichael Zerbs Vice President, IBM Risk Analytics Four years after the worldwide financial crisis began, the recent elections and their aftermaths in Greece and France are fresh reminders that the global financial system and the global economy itself are still fragile.

IBM’s Grand Challenges: Pitting Machine Against Man
11 May 2012 | 7:00 amIf you can’t measure progress you can’t make progress. That’s one of the truisms of the human condition.

And, often, for all the obvious reasons, they have matched up their machines and software against humans in intellectually rigorous games. IBM has used the human-versus-machine trope repeatedly over the years to motivate our scientists, focus our research and excite the imagination of the computer-savvy public. It’s one of the ways we take on what we… -

Cellular Location Fail

DIY safety-goggles for every maker
