She's GONE. Hooray! When she took control of Hewlett-Packard it was an amazing place. HP did great things, all sorts of research pumped out of their labs. Now it's a rather pathetic relic, gutted of engineers and its best talent. A lot of IP has been sold off, and divisions spun out or plain axed.
I still religiously use my HP-48. Too bad the processor is so slow by today's standards. Thanks to Carly I'll probably never get a faster version.

Nah it was a stunt from the marketing departement.

Wait wait wait.. this comes only just after the official news announcement that our IT girl Carley (soon to be Ex-CEO of HP) is stepping down?
I'm impressed.
