| schestowitz[TR2] | <blockquote> | Aug 29 12:08 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p>The plugin, named ss-otr (ScreenShareOTR), was initially added to Pidgin’s third-party plugin roster on July 6th; unbeknownst to users and developers, it harbored harmful components. </p> | Aug 29 12:08 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p> The alarming discovery was made on August 16th when an alert was raised by the user, who reported that the plugin contained a keylogger and was capable of capturing screenshots to send to unauthorized parties. </p> | Aug 29 12:08 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | IBM has not taken their foot off the gas when it comes to protecting their Mainframe footprint. Yes it’s a “Niche” market, but it’s hard to imagine what will replace it given IBM’s commitment to the Fortune 500 and their HW investment in it. Remember there is 2 trillion dollars of legacy code that runs on mainframe, and the Fortune 500 isn’t going to trust that code stack to Intel or the cloud as they have far too many | Aug 29 18:55 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | reliability issues. If they change, they are going to want reliability, and that is something over the last 40 years that every other HW manufacturer hasn’t been able to offer. Most companies have accepted that, and asked IBM to focus their change efforts on the middleware and legacy SW components. IBM has obliged via moving into Redhat and other Hybrid cloud SW solutions. | Aug 29 18:55 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Right now nothing is going to replace IBM in the markets that it dominates. Just like Class 7 and 8 trucks are built by a select few manufacturers, IBM will probably continue to be the builders of mainframes...the semi trucks of the computing world. | Aug 29 18:56 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | However...just as you don't look to semi truck builders for innovation beyond occasional efficiency improvements, the world is no longer looking to IBM for innovation in computing beyond...you guessed it, the occasional efficiency improvements. For a world that constantly wants "new and improved", IBM can occasionally deliver on "improved"...but it hasn't delivered on "new" for a very long time. In fact, every attempt at something | Aug 29 18:56 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "new" has been abandoned and sold off, sometimes for pocket change. | Aug 29 18:56 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | TLDR: IBM is what stock analysts call a mature business. They deal in legacy products for a niche market, and they are indeed dominant in that market. But that market isn't growing, and IBM's attempts to grow beyond that market have had questionable success. As for the OP, it looks like they'll be getting out of China too. | Aug 29 18:56 |
