Leading with the Paul Rand "Eye Bee M" rebus is always cool:

Sometimes I wonder how much of Apple and IBM starting to work together was due to the shared love of Helvetica Neue.

There was a good talk from IBM's head of design about what they are doing earlier this year [1]

As a design language/guide/framework etc, I've spent 5 minutes on that link clicking around and I still don't really know what I'm looking at.

I'd say it's IBM's response to Google material design. IBM blog announcement: http://www.ibm.com/design/blog-page.shtml?ibm-design-languag...

That's the only thing their webpage said to me 'we too!'. I used to enjoy improving the visual qualities of data (Brett Victor and previous inspirations as extrapolation) but nowadays it's more of a fad of form over content.

This is like the complete opposite of creativity. I actually feel a bit sick..

Instead of leaving a simple comment I would like to share my authentic and thoughtful comment brand which communicates my living perspective and collection of crafted experiences working together as a cohesive language of positive reflection in the inverse context.

Dear IBM... you suck at communication! Take a look at their Watson LP (http://www.ibm.com/smarterplanet/us/en/ibmwatson/) If you don't continue reading blog articles comments and do some tryouts you actually have no idea what they want to sell you and EVEN LESS how exactly you can use it.

Sadly even when they customer research, we have been on a few of these with regards to improving their support sites, they seem to take all the suggestions and go the opposite direction.

At least the linked sites look good, try navigating their support sites, it gets worse when they cross license products and some support is here, some there, and all bound up behind horrid search engines.
