-- _at_home.com is bogus. "She has red flags all over her. Monkey business with Goldman Sachs, and a bozo-deal that lost eBay almost $1.4 billion. Whitman buys Skype for 4.1B then sells it to Marc Andreesen-led fund for $2.7B, then Marc sells it to Microsoft for over $8.5B. I'd say they should hire Marc to teach them some deal-making skills. And they got her to the business hall of fame? LOL! Is the there a hall for bozos? Not to mention that she planned to kill Californians by thinking that clean air is less important than jobs. Lousy business+politics person, without a clue about hi-tech or any vision, as head of the oldest hi-tech company. HP , you're in deep doodoo. A friggin' 3+ year profitability roadmap for the world's largest computer company? WTF? They need to invent (ironic) new PRODUCTS & SERVICES to sell NOW. Hire a progressive engineer CEO and get their creativity asses back to a Bill Hewlett garage mentality before its too late. And btw, NOBODY with half a functional brain (including computer stores) buys/sells HP inks at $40 a pop. They sell knockoffs and refills at $7 to boost their retail margins. Original HP inks sit on shelfs for months. FACT! Get a clue Meg! Inkjets are D.E.A.D. people buy lasers for $80 these days. You need a team of uber-geeks to re-factor your entire product line. Not some stupid PoS with a timebomb chip that kills a $50 printer after 2000 spool commands. Mehhh! Think we don't know your bozo tactics? Corporate mentality. Go figure." - Damien SpechiotisReceived on Fri Oct 05 2012 - 23:58:06 CEST
