HOW DO YOU RE-INVENT the Invent company? At HP, you spin off the only profitable division you have, printers and imaging, and call it HP.

You change the name of the rest of the company to Innovative Technologies. The company will be kept with HP for a little while before it is let go. No word on details or stock splits.

If you recall, HP has done this before with an agile side stepping company called Agilent. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
