Defending HP-Compaq
from the fighting-back dept
Now that just about everyone has had their say as to why the HP-Compaq merger is a huge mistake, HP's Carly Fiorina is fighting back. She's written an article explaining why everyone else is wrong, and she's right. The summary is that this means they'll be bigger, better and stronger. It's still a little unclear where the "better and stronger" part comes from. Most of the analysts fear that in becoming bigger, they're just making it more difficult for them to move.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
