You can try. Fill out an application like a normal person. Youtube does not a resume make.

Not to be confused w/ Seamus McAnus, world-famous proctologist and innovator of odor control and sound-absorption carbon filters for an increasingly flatulent America. As more and more Americans went from a manufacturing economy to sitting on their butts in front of computers all day—but never changing their diet—McAnus’ fart filters went from 3,000 to 3 million asses, almost overnight.

IBM is basicly just trying to create another name for thin clients that they can copywrite. essentially they are pulling away from the Unix based term of Thin client and moving forward to their own, which is cloud computing, which is quite interseting seeing how, instead of being server side it is all purly p2p. IBM is basicly just trying to get their feet wet again and playing catch up, but like usual they are about 5 years too late on this on. Hooray for seamus.... IBM == IGNORANT!

So... they saw the benefits of a client-server model and consequently moved away from thin clients to give everyone their own PC? That doesn't sound right.

I'm still not sure how "cloud computing" is different from thin clients, frankly.
