IBM shows the true value of tracking systems: faster beer

IBM might sometimes look clueless in the IT market, but this time they created a solution that is bound to catch the hearths and minds of the IT sector.

Beer Big Blue has opened up a Beer Living Lab where research ways think of way to use cellular and satellite technology to guide beer shipments through customs.

It took IT geeks after all to explain the term free in open source software as "free as in free speech, not free as in free beer."

Life is all about priorities.
