if HP has such great engineering, where is it? Take look at SKYHAWK(now defunked?) mainboard, its basicly Blank space. Funny Name Skyhawk is Same Hon McCain uses as aircraft shot down in, maybe its Bad name? or maybe Huge Digital Gag.Oh,My.

McBain & Sher, new Rivalries? haha ha?
Gigtek , New Company. well its smallest child stunt I've seen in Long Time. None of Stuff is really ULTIMATE Ready, so Harp on others to Blame for LACK of True Engineering Skill in house. All Around entire industry.
LOOK AT MY FACE, DICK. Ou,ey.

As a contractor for Red/Blue, I saw a once great company reduced to just a re-branding wholesaler. Seeing ol' Carly trying to resell Apple gear was one of the funniest things I ever saw. 2 great *nix systems destroyed later, the complete erosion in market leadership in printing.

What morons, but I'm sure some really great bonuses whent out.

As an American living abroad, I looked back and shook my head in sadness over the DUmmying Down of the School systems, that was allowed, in the US. Intelligence being stifled. Wasting MINDS. Do we REALIZE that MANY European as well as Asian school systems demand their students become TRI-lingual. Several countries have huge percentages of their population speaking 4-5 languages!! Then, USA domiciled companies are allowed to shift work that could have been co-partnered with the American communities abroad. SOME should be, perhaps. It IS good to share, but to give away huge amounts of POTENTIAL intellectual expertise.???!!!!

This is the inevitable consequence of short-termist capital ruling industry.

We've seen it with many popular UK hifi brands -- started making electronics in Japan (then Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, China) and only to be outclassed and eventually eliminated by products from Japan (and now products from Taiwan, Korea and China). 

All that's left are the brand names -- now mostly owned by overseas firms too. 

A similar short sighted approach to R&D -- starved here and eventually gets established alongside production -- overseas.
