HP CEO Carly Fiorina to Step Down

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the tidal-wave-of-submissions dept.

ewwhite was the first of a tidal wave of readers to submit links telling us that HP Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer Carly Fiorina will step down, effective immediately. Chief Financial Officer Robert Wayman will be interim CEO, Hewlett-Packard said in a Business Wire statement today. Patricia Dunn will be chairwoman. Not much else in the story.

    Isn't this simply a "give the geeks what they want" list? The only good advice I saw there was "focus on enterprise systems", and "watch out in the printer division". What about this will fix their business strategy, or the very real internal problems resulting from the merger?

    Nothing. You'll get lot's of Linux/FOSS goodness, some nice moddable cases, and the Alpha will be free, free at last... and HP will be bankrupt and dead.

    I don't know what kind of crack I was on, but I suspect it was decaf.

    Sure we do. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. A place to live (shelter) and a meal are requirements for life. You have a right to them, period.

    God employs a lot of very nice people, but he has this strange penchant for employing pedophiles, too. Perhaps we're better off if He doesn't owe us jobs.
