Back on February 9, I asked the following question: Is it just me...or does HP suck?
Today the news came out that HP is hiring Meg Whitman as their new CEO. How could a company like HP make so many bad decisions and then repeat them over and over?
Here is the news line today:
HP's board convened Thursday "to consider a host of
issues, including jettisoning Apotheker, who in less than a year on the job has
slashed sales forecasts several times, backtracked on promises to integrate
Palm's webOS software into devices, and struggled to halt a 50 percent plunge
in the share price," Reuters reported."
The answer to my question from last February is YES. HP really does suck. And the HP Touch Pad shown above is now dead. Someplace, Steve Job is smiling.
