  1. To jack up the price for HP by cryfreedomlove · · Score: 4, Interesting

    HP paid $1.2 Billion. That's about $1 Billion more than it was really worth. I think Apple, RIM, and Google deliberately hobbled HP by bidding up the price but not high enough that HP would not still take that dinosaur into their house.
