As a matter of fact, I don't think you can even publish any review without permission from your employee (even for IBM hardware). Last time I saw an IBM contract (around 5 years ago) it was basically a: We own you! kind of contract (they had ownership on anything one do, even on one's "own free time"). Now, on a side note: this thread is very interesting. I have always liked high-performance systems discussions. Ildefonso.
