Hewlett-Packard CEO Mark Hurd announces he has accepted the resignation of former chairwoman Patricia Dunn from the board of directors as a result of the H-P leak investigation and spying scandal. MORE...
Am I the only one who thinks the reaction to this story has actually gone overboard?
Dunn's done.
Correction - she was to remain the chairwoman until January, but her resignation is now effective immediately.
Tech company news
Yeah, they need to toner it down a bit.
I copy that. They should stick to the fax.
Women at HP do not fair well; interesting, you would think with all of the "progressives" in the San Francisco Bay Area this would never happen. Maybe boys and girls are not simply programmed, the hard wiring is different (I have one of each and assure you it is)
Probably, since Dunn knew early on that the detectives were committing felonies.
H-P Lawyer: H-P will provide the information obtained from pretexting to the victims.
H-P has found at some instances where Social Security Numbers were unlawfully provide for pretexting purposes against four journalists, three board members, and one H-P employee.
H-P admits sending spyware in a trojan horse e-mail message to a reporter. Mark Hurd admits involvement in certain aspects of this project, but not the spyware.
H-P used physical surveillance on board members and journalists, including digging in their trashcans.
Lawyer says no evidence of wiretapping or keystroke logging, or planting spys as employees within newsrooms.
"Yeah, they need to toner it down a bit.
I copy that. They should stick to the fax."
I'm sorry, what you both are saying just doesn't compute.

When are the leakers going to jail.
The only reason she did not submit her resume earlier was that her HP supplied printer cartridge was already out of ink.
Not just Dunn. Their friggin' director of ethics/in-house cousel knew about it back in February.
Nick, if you don't care about the ethics surrounding this, I hope you care about false filings, remembering the Enron incident. They they signed a quarterly report to the SEC, falsifying it to cover up this incident, which could and did affect shareholder value. That CANNOT be allowed to happen. People seriously need to go to jail.
Which report? I was referring to the spying.
