The first item of business for HP…
… should be to fix their URLs. Seriously.

Guess what that is - a link to the press release of their acquisition of Autonomy.
And this one? A little easier… but really?

Let’s see what a url should look like.
Yeah. Not the only reason the iPad is successful but the culture behind these decisions is what creates successful products.
Microsoft revenue declines 17% in fiscal Q4
It looks like Microsoft really needs Windows 7 to be a HUGE win. Just like Balmer said last week. Unfortunately Microsoft is stuck between really cheap computers (linux based) and Apple who pretty much owns all the computer sales over $1000. This means Windows-based manufacturers (HP & Dell) are still selling cheap versions of Windows XP to make make any profit off the cheap netbooks that apparently are all the rage right now. Too bad their isn’t any margin for anyone in these products. You have to sell 10 netbooks to equal the profit of 1 MacBook. I guess that makes sense why Apple is doing VERY WELL with only a 8-9% market share.
