The HP Saga: Counterattack

September 11, 2006

Today brings more news but little new to the HP saga, save that no decision has been made yet, and that Dunn has gone on the attack, taking shots at Perkins that are unresponsive to the complaints against her, but seemingly calculated to instead merely distract or deflect criticism: “The investigation was a Pattie Dunn […]

The New Mac Ads

If you’re really taking these to heart, then here’s some advice on how to dress like a Mac or a PC.

The ex-Pod?

September 10, 2006

September 10, 2006

As dawn breaks on what could be Patricia Dunn’s last day as HP’s board chair, I can’t help but wonder how if I were her I would feel opening the door to a Sunday newspaper that bore the headline of Allen Wastler’s piece in CNNMoney: “HP Chair: Lying, or incompetent?” The question comes, of course, […]

The HP Saga: The HP Way … to Jail?

September 8, 2006

The HP board surveillance scandal keeps expanding – HP Board Chair Patricia Dunn’s investigation – and the pretexting carried out under it – apparently also extended to the CNet reporters to whom leaks were made – perhaps because the brain trust that conceived this farce thought it would be nice to someday see the names […]
