Ray Lane to HP or Compaq?
from the go-figure dept
Not that it's any big surprise, but news reports are starting to put more weight behind the idea that Oracle's Ray Lane might be considering the top spots at HP or Compaq. It's certainly an obvious choice, though he has ignored offers to become CEO elsewhere in the past. What's interesting to me is that in the past he has been somewhat vocal when refusing offers. I haven't seen that yet this time.
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.
