Our Survey Sunday this week is asking what part of the Geekonomy is least understood by the mainstream media!
Survey Sunday Roundup: The Big News
Here was an ironic question, asked before the Apple announcement:
Which of these stories is the bigger for the Geekonomy?
- 28.6% – The Google Purchase of Motorola
- 28.6% – HP's refocusing.
- 28.6% – Both.
- 14.3% – Neither
And what did people think in detail? Well, they had a lot to say . . .
Frustration Friday: In Which I Vent On HP
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?
