- CraigJ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I understand that there is a problem with HP and their tactics, but I fail to understanf why Congress is involved. I know they can investigate whatever they want, but I would think this would be handled by the courts, and congress has a lot of other stuff they should be focused on... My .02
- tocksin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3i used to work at HP. It was a quality company back then. I left when they hired the first chick to run the company. Looks like I choose wisely...

- hiscity, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4It's obvious that HP is involved in much more than corporate spying.
There's price fixing of ink-jet cartridge throughout the industry -- keeping prices high.
If they'll trash privacy, they'll also collude with others to fix prices.
Lawmakers and investigators should broaden their scope and see what else HP is hiding. - Burritovision, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1HP officials refuse to testify, "aka" HP stock drops 10-20% this week, 30-50% for the term.
- barrej, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1hiscity,
i agree with you on the privacy issue -hp overstepped its bounds. Yet here we have a corporation with a board member leaking a company's strategies when he clearly had an obligation to keep his mouth shut. two wrongs don't make a right but i'm sure glad an untrustworthy individual is out of the picture. - aelias, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Bwahaha. First thing I thought of was Pesci "It's always better wit no witnesses"
- r©ain, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Honestly the first thing that comes to mind is some cliche filled mobster movie with the Godfather in the hotseat saying in a Brando-eque voice "I uhh plead the fifth your honor, capice?".
But no ones disputing what happened, instead they all shrug, say oops and plead the fifth to cover their own asses.
What get's me though is how our government can sit there with a straight face and conduct this inquiry. I mean it's not like they are pretty much letting Bush get carte blanch to spy on any American in any way he chooses. And this after the hubub about his warrantless wiretaps. But I guess it's do as Bush says, not as Bush does.
One thing is for certain, it's just gonna get more interesting. Since this is now a very public Federal issue, we can be damn sure the Justice department will be camping out at HP HQ for the next few months and driving hot pokers up everyones butts so they can start indicting for criminal charges. $100 says that Dunn gets 3 months in Camp Cupcake, the actual investigators get 5 years each in FPMITAP and that will be the end of it. - unitedstatians, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Dawn Kawamoto and Tom Krazit (writers for cnetnews.com) were being investigated by HP because of this article published January 23, 2006

It seemed like the private investigators went to far. And they bundled some corporate standard procedure stuff like scanning emails in to make it seem worse and make it seem like these officials who hired the investigators had more to do with it. Just my conclusions based on very little info.
- herosw, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1HP was probably taking a page from the White House playbook.
If the President can engage in warrantless wiretapping so can we.
It's all for a good cause. - Zipko, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Damn bill of rights... always getting in the way.
