    fluff

    Has HP redefined AAA? I thought the 3rd A was "Accounting". This of course makes the statement following it mean that they've re-invented the wheel...again...

    Leak on purpose?

    Wonder if they were getting some pressure to tell their cloud plans and some guy, playing "dumb" abused linkedin to tell them in a low profile.

    I can't believe such high level guys in enterprise companies who fills up 50 NDA agreements daily would be that dumb? I always see such dumb leaks in a different way, like some kind of bait to see market/consumer reaction. Apple/MS/RIM, all does it, why wouldn't HP?

    Cloud != Utopia

    Considering recent events at Amazon, I'm not sure the market is going to grow at the rates previously anticipated... it'll take at least 6 months for people to forget...

    "Scott McClellan, ... interim vice president of engineering"

    So Scott, what are the chances of becoming a full VP? Good luck with that.

    Director of Green

    The story reminds me of one of the best episodes of the Dilbert Comic series ever:

    PHB: "Let me introduce you to Andy, our new Director of Green!"

    Dilbert: "Director of Green? How do you get a position like that?"

    Andy: "You start with being the director of something else and screwing it up.."
