IBM is irrelevant. Extreme exaggeration at its finest.
Irrelevant in what? According to whom? Very important questions.
The only way I'm able to fathom someone being able to claim that IBM is "irrelevant," is if said person has never done any level of enterprise or government IT business anywhere on earth. Must be nice to have an irrelevant $100b sales business with $16b in profit and 434,000 employees.
Well let's see here. By that measure, the following companies are apparently irrelevant too: Oracle, HP, Dell, Cisco, Intel, SAP, Microsoft, EMC - they only tally a cool $450 billion or so in sales. They must not do anything useful at all to earn that.
Irrelevant must mean: not hip or fashionable, and not dominate in consumer smart phones or tablets.
Irrelevant to business desktop and mobile computing. But they don't even compete in that segment any more, having sold it to Lenovo, so that's hardly surprising.
