HP engineers are responsible for inventing many of today's most used gadgets. The pocket scientific calculator, the personal computer, the laptop, the PDA, the smart phone. The list goes on. And who is number one in these markets, Texas Instruments, Apple, Dell, Palm, but not HP (OK well HP now owns Palm, but the PDA market is nearly dead.) HP needs to stop killing ideas that it cannot instantly productize and then playing catch up when someone else finally does. HP needs to invest in minds, return to the HP Way, and invent again. HP went from being in the top 10 of the top 100 places to work, to not even on the list in 1 year. Now those are 1's and 0's even a non-nerd can understand. Don't expect to have billions of dollars in profits. It is better to just cover your expenses and be respected than it is to make billions of dollars and be a just another reseller of cheap crap.
