➀ This article takes us back to 64 years ago when Electronics Weekly featured IBM's technique for storing 100kbits.

➁ The story, published on September 7th, 1960, highlighted a significant milestone in data storage technology.

➂ It serves as a reminder of the evolution of technology over the years.

➀ Computers began to sing 63 years ago with IBM's 7094 being the first warbling data cruncher;

➁ The 7094 sang a tune;

➂ The article discusses the significance of this event in the history of computers.

➀ IBM's researchers are inspired by the human brain to develop neuromorphic computing, aiming to mimic the brain's efficiency in processing vast amounts of data required for tasks like AI.

➁ The concept of neuromorphic computing involves designing a computing system that reflects the efficiency of the human brain, which consumes very little power and solves tasks effectively even with ambiguous or undefined data.

➂ IBM's NorthPole chip, an example of neuromorphic architecture, integrates memory and computation on the same chip to overcome the von Neumann bottleneck and reduce energy consumption.

➃ IBM's research teams are working on materials and algorithms to improve the performance and efficiency of neuromorphic chips, with the goal of creating more powerful and energy-efficient AI accelerators.

➀ A 28-year-old IBM employee, Li Hongyan, has publicly accused the Chairman of IBM Greater China, Chen Xudong, of several wrongdoings including violating company policies, accepting bribes, breaching confidentiality agreements, making poor decisions, favoritism, and retaliating against employees.

➁ Li, the former General Manager of IBM China's Data, AI & Automation business, claims that Chen's actions led to his termination and that it was a form of retaliation.

➂ Chen Xudong has a history of working in senior positions in companies like Lenovo and Tsinghua Unigroup before joining IBM in 2022.

➃ IBM has responded by stating they will thoroughly investigate any violations of their business conduct guidelines.
