Wow.

Someone in Silicon Valley's going to hiring a genius real soon.

dude, no kidding. i think this slash-and-burn methodology to focus only on areas that will potentially turn a fast profit [because that's what they're doing] is gonna come back to bite HP in the ass...

HP best be glad they make the best damn laser printers in the 'verse, because everything else they do is going down the tubes. You should read EWeek's commentary on HP, it's the most downbeat one of all the companies that mag regular writes about.

Bits like this really put me on the fence about buying a new HP printer, no badly how I need one.

When the last vestiges of what used to be Bell Labs turned into a pumpkin, Rob Pike wound up at Google Labs. Good odds that Alan winds up there.
