Larry Ellison Rips HP Board a New One

theodp writes "No stranger himself to sexual harassment allegations, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison has denounced HP's directors for forcing the resignation of HP CEO Mark Hurd. 'The HP board just made the worst personnel decision since the idiots on the Apple board fired Steve Jobs many years ago,' Ellison wrote. For now, it seems that Rupert Murdoch is also standing by Hurd, who sits on News Corp's Board of Directors and its Corporate Governance Committee. Less likely to survive the scandal is Hurd's relationship with HP General Counsel Mike Holston, who accepted Hurd's signed separation agreement after leading an investigation into Hurd's actions, which Holston told the NY Times 'showed a profound lack of judgment.' Quite a change from just last year, when Hurd and Holston teamed up to get their daughters' elite prep school a state-of-the-art HP Data Center."

Steve Jobs

[Anonymous Coward]

was fired cause he was acting like an asshole to the 1 and only team in the company that actually were making money, announcing the death of the apple // series (with its millions of users) for his new-fangled macintosh project

now most fanboi's say well macintosh proved to be the right way to go, but in 1983 this jackoff had not 1 but 2 retard expensive computer failures and was driving the company bankrupt, so here he is proclaiming that apple was killing its cash cow for yet another retard expensive fad computer, which was a market failure up until his departure and apple started listening to their customers, dropped the price, got some software aside from mac paint, and added what was by then a laughable 512k model (keeping in mind everyone else was in the megs by then)

Yeah, the mods are just a bunch of stupid weasels. They follow the status quo (political correction in this case) because that is all that they know.
 
But don't blame them. All that they know came from school, television, and Digg. Most people refuse to think independently and therefore never accept the harsh realities of life.

rumor I heard is that he ripped her a new one. Remember guys, if a girl is bent over, ass up in the air, pussy dripping wet and you "accidentally" stick it in her pooper, it's rape. A couple inches is the difference between consentual sex and criminal charges. So always ask first!
