Some of our FRiends seem very confused about the HP job cuts...
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2887229/postsHP laid a huge egg with their attempt at a tablet using their own OS instead of Android 4. That was as bad a debacle as the RIMM tablet. Let me add from personal experience HP Laptops are crap. One died because the motherboard “melted”, a common problem with the model I had, and the other one I owe works but you can hear the cooling fan reeving up all the time.
They may have laid an even bigger egg by flushing their tablet inventory at sub-$200 prices, and playing stop and go with their PC business. I still can't figure out what the last chairman (Apotheker) was thinking.
As someone who has to deal with their application support at work, I’m not surprised. They’re horrible. Try to open a ticket with them, and the response that you get is from someone in Mexico who has difficulty understanding and expressing themselves in English. A lot of time is wasted trying to clarify what they’re telling you. And the end result is no resolution at all, just a suggestion to upgrade to the next version (which may or may NOT help the issue, but also has new ones of its own that make the situation worse).
Desktops no better . Trouble from Day 1 . Sent back to Tokyo for 3 major repairs ( within the first year ) and they would not replace the computer . Working okay now but I’ve had to disenable the touchscreen , wireless mouse , and a few other things in order to have stability . Never again .

NO, NO, NO! Everyone knows it's President Obama's fault! It's Stimulus spending, and um, Obamacare, and um, uncertainty about taxes, right?
