I’m not surprised by this move. If anything I’m just surprised it took so long. In full disclosure, I worked in HP’s IPG (Imaging and Printing Group) before joining Waggener Edstrom three years ago. Pop Quiz: Do you know what the most profitabl...
Usually this would mark the moment when I urgently ask Forbes researcher Sue Radlauer to help me dig up the legal docs so I can publish them on behalf of you readers — except this time I was beat to the punch. Some fast-fingered reporter? Nope. I was beat by HP itself.
HP published a blog item with a screaming “BREAKING” headline. It published the complaint to Scribd and linked to it for all to see. The company later dropped a copy in a public Dropbox account for direct download. Its official Twitter account tipped Techmeme, a high profile technology news aggregator, which subsequently pushed out the press release directly from its homepage.
This is what scares me about the "jobless recovery". Revenue, sales, jobs, everything except profit is down. Meaning they're cutting there way to profit. You can only do that for so long. I'm worried about that second dip some keep mentioning (the one that's worse than the first).

If it doesn’t contribute, it doesn’t leave the garage. Believe that together we can do anything. Invent.”

I want one, I want one, I want one. Windows and a Linux based web browsing mode!
Here's the official press release on this. I have a lot more questions than answers. Time to do some snooping around.
This is indeed interesting. I really don't know what to think of it yet. I've been out of the office w/ school so I haven't heard any official internal announcements yet. Ron Coughlin, our new VP of Marketing for IPG is a consumer ad guy so this makes sence. I need more details before I make up my mind on this.
