1. Carly #2 - in other words. These tech companies only do well under

liberals. HP won't learn from their past fuck-ups.

Worst Board among all 30 Dow companies by far.

2. Try to find a CEO who's even remotely liberal nowadays.

It's like looking for a haystack needle.

I mean, would a person who has wasted 110 million dollars to run for a position she's not qualified for (seemingly out of boredom, from the looks of it) be a boardroom's first choice to run a company ANYwhere in the world but America? :rofl:

3. I am in the tech world

and I am very knowledgeable of the companies mentioned. I like HP hardware and I know IBM global services( I did deals with them when it was ISSC) and HP,EDS and autonomy. What HP is trying to do(I just met someone from HP(EDS person)). HP is trying to compete with IBM. IBM owns their accounts. they have people sitting in HQ of the companies they"service". When they need a solution they pull it out of their mediocre software solutions. Companies buy it because IBM will make it work.

HP sees the writing on the wall. They overpaid for Autonomy but they see their future.. The want to compete with IBM. Whitman is a loser in this environment and I don't think she understands this world. For chrisskes she ran on online reatil company. Whitman is smart but the board is grasping at straws. It's called panic.
