I heard this joke years before working at Kaleida Labs (a joint venture of Apple and IBM), but it rang true while I was living the joke:
Q: What do you get when you cross Apple and IBM?
A: IBM.
While I was working at Kaleida, I gave a wild ScriptX demo to Lou Gerstner using a bouncing eyeball to navigate a map of interactive rooms. After the demo, he complained that "The eyeball was a little too right-brained for me." I was all "Dag nab it, I should have used the other eyeball!!!"
