I agree. I've started to look more and more at IBM hardware and software. I started working as a contractor for them about 2 months ago, and I've been pretty impressed by their internal business practices as well. Such as the blurb on CNN about them not tracking vacation hours, and not requiring you to call in sick if you need to stay home (the reality on that last one is that it varies depending on your area and job... big surprise).
They're still a business, so of course they encourage their employees to file patents THROUGH them like fiends. And they'll pay you extra for that too. Not as much as you'd get for licensing some of those patents, but for the more useless of patents it could be profitable.
