Maybe HP-Compaq Isn't Such A Bad Idea?
from the blasphemy! dept
Well, with all the (acronym alert) PR HP CEO Carly Fiorina has been pushing about why the HP-Compaq merger will work, it seems she's finally convinced one journalist. He even admits that he's probably the only one outside of the Fiorina-Capellas brain trust who thinks it's a good idea. So what reason does he give? They couldn't do anything else. That doesn't seem too convincing to me. They had to merge because what else would they do? Seems pretty weak.
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
