The thing is she had no actual tech background. She got each of those jobs based on her "CEO skills" which consisted mostly of slash and burn MBA crap.
I may be way off base, but it seems to me that the concept of leadership as a skill has been cast aside for marketing stunts and balance sheet tricks.
Had HP had someone whose goal was making the companies strengths work for them, rather than simply boosting the share price, perhaps they wouldn't be empty shell now.
.99 isn't even that low of a price. The labels still believe they can win this time where they lost before. They've got all the legislators money can buy.
The only direct quote I've seen from Linus about this is from a mailing list where he mused that binary drivers were bad mmkay, and noted that they may be illegial under the current GPL.
The MBAs have sucessfully taught a generation that buggy, overpriced products that don't last even half a decade are perfectly normal. As long as it looks cool....
Lots of city hall type meetings are closed now. Cities have been fighting in courts (at our expense) to keep them that way. And who really knows how many such local elections are rigged?
Where I'm from, the dead rise from the grave to vote....
Who's worried about their CPU heat at idle or whilst word processing? It's the heavy processing that needs full porcessing power that manefests heat problems.
Soon enough you'll have two obsolete cards to replace instead of one, in order to play the latest games. (unless these cards have a lot of room to overclock)
How's the battery life and the reception? Those were the two biggest complaints I've heard.
The whole Mpx line is actually made by compal. (note how it has a TI instead of a moto processor. Does moto have an ARM in thier processor lineup?) Or was, as Moto just severed their relationship with them, so I've heard.
Are they actually going to make this one in house, or farm it out to some third party again like the MPX line. The MPX-220 was a travishmockey, and I have't heard good things of the MPX either.
I think the problem is, for the average joe, ALL browsers are "broken" from the get go. They can't properly display half the sites out there because those sites depend on some BS plugin that is not included.
So people learn that in order to get thier computer thing to work, they have to constantly be installing the latest flasholio plugin 5000(TM). How is such a person going to know trustworthy from not?

Had HP had someone whose goal was making the companies strengths work for them, rather than simply boosting the share price, perhaps they wouldn't be empty shell now.Look at HP, a great example of "CEO skills" at work. What happened to pormoting from within or at least within your own industry.
And people wonder why the tech economy is so bad....99 isn't even that low of a price. The labels still believe they can win this time where they lost before. They've got all the legislators money can buy.
Does everyone get their history from politicans these days??
A winnar is me!
Prepare for 93242.5 posts telling you to use java or perl or ada instead.
Yep, that's an emulator, all right.

It doesn't have to be true, it just has to be read.
BTW, this would be perfectly legal here in the US.Like real estate, except you can make more of it.
Of course, we can't have any AD free time, now can we? It makes the baby MBA cry.

School board near my home in SC, specifically. I think it is against the law, but how would that stop them?

This has been done for years, the only change is moving to GPS technology from whatever they were using before.
And if you beleive that's where the money will go, I got this bridge you may be interested in....

How about fewer models and more QA?
Might as well call it Marvin while you're at it.

Four! I didn't look close enough.
