Just because I get criticized for always looking at the dark side of the economy, I thought I'd post this to show that it's good to see the tech industry adding jobs again. About 1/3 of these jobs will go to the US, bringing IBM's worldwide staff to around 330,000, which, according to the article, will be the largest it's been since 1991.

Well, that's good. IBM has had a helluvalotta troulbe in the past decade. It's good to see that the tech sector leader is hiring again.

Nice. But do they now stop using American prisoners as "free" workers too?
