IBM just celebrated its 100th anniversary.
IBM isn't in the headlines every day for its innovations, but it's an idea factory. For 18 years, it has received the most patents of any company. In 2010, it received 5,896 in all -- 16 patents a day.
Its current success is its ability to make use of those ideas, and to apply technology to help its customers, rather than trying to manipulate situations to convince those customers to buy specific products that might soon be outdated in a rapidly shifting environment.
