IBM buys a Toronto risk management/analytics firm.
It does fit well with IBM's usual gradual adaptions – and might mean some opportunities for folks in Toronto once the smoke clears. Of course Toronto does have a lot of tech companies, so maybe now that IBM is done buying everything in Massachucetts they're moving on . . .
OK, I sort of held back on HP's decision to uh . . . give up on everything they were known for. I wasn't sure what to say, and then I realized that what I had to say was more yelling and venting than actual rational analysis. I'm OK with this because as far as I can tell they really arent being overly rational.
Our own Rob Barba gave us a very rational discussion. Of course I'm going to provide the counterpoint – not by arguing with him, but dipping fully into my ID and splattering it on the blog. But you know, in a professional manager.
So, HP, seriously, the hell?
