HP: Rival Printers Mean No More HPs Through Dell

Dell talks to HP

[Master Commadachi]

Dude, yer goin' to hell!

Proposterous!

[L. VeGas]

Oh right! Dell's going to make printers. That makes as much sense as HP making computers.

wait a second....

Oh well.

And in other news, Microsoft refuses to sell Windows to Dell as long as they are selling computers with Linux pre-loaded.

HP, uncreative as always, goodbye!

Re:Screw HP

[ShavenYak]

I agree with you! This is one example of why women should NOT be CEO's or in any power postition whatsoever!

You're obviously a troll, but I'm going to play with your argument for a bit.

If this is a good enough reason for women to not be CEOs, then the Enron debacle is an example of why men should not be CEOs. Men are far too greedy and aggressive, too willing to lie and deceive to get their way, and spend too much time sexually harassing their secretaries to get any work done. Thus, since neither men nor women are qualified to be CEOs, I propose we dismantle all corporations until such time as we develop an AI suitable for administering their functions.

Story Updated

[jaymzter]

CNN (I lost the direct link) is reporting that the real
reason HP is pulling printers from Dell is because that
lovable scamp, the "Dell Guy", reportedly grabbed Carly's
ass at a recent "goodwill" meeting.

Carly was overheard to say "He'll never get his hands
on my toner again!". The Dell Guy responded with "Dude,
what a rude BITCH!"

Can someone without an actual job please find this link?

KILL the DELL KID

[Anonymous Coward]

The dell kid must die. His death must be slow, humiliating, and most of all painfull. This is deserved for his crimes against humanity, mass annoyance. Any suggestions?

Re:Stupid Management

[brsmith4]

Slightly offtopic, from the link in the parent post: Has anyone noticed this or is it just me; HP has a very large amount of women in upper management for a corporate entity. I think its pretty interesting to see a woman as a Chairman and CEO of a company so large. Could This whole problem be because management is just at 'that time of the month'?

monumentally stupid

[j1mmy]

HP: Hi, Dell?
Dell: Yes?
HP: This is HP. We're tired of receiving revenue from the printers you sell for us.
Dell: I see.
HP: We're going to stop selling printers through you.
Dell: Well have fun.

Re:How could they do it?

[Amazing Quantum Man]

you MUST sell it to everyone who will pay listed price

There's a new sign in the window at HP's corporate HQ.

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. ... Especially annoying guys who call people "Dude!"
