HP's Monkey Business

Bloomberg reports the HP Board is considering replacing CEO Leo Apotheker after less then a year tenure… poor Leo, after this and his previous gig as SAP CEO where he lasted 10 months, he might as well specialize on 10-month “turnaround” gigs.

But it would be naive to think Leo could have initiated changes of this magnitude without the Board. Perhaps the Board should be fired as a whole. Oh, well, I think the above image says it all. 🙂

Breaking news: HP to merge with Cirque du Soleil. 🙂

More breaking news: The Cirque du Soleil deal is far from certain, the San Diego Zoo is joining the bid.

Even more breaking news: To eliminate the thriving second market on eBay of TouchPads, HP is emabarking on a major Business Process Reeengineering Project ( hello 90’s): cut out manufacturing, selling subsidized $99 Touchpads – just send everyone a $100 check. Apply here.

+1: Now it’s a done deal. I hear the HP Board accepts applications for the post-Meg period.
