High Noon At HPWhat the heck is going on at HP? With the Washington Post now reporting that CEO Mark Hurd was involved in a 'sting' on reporters the company will hold a news conference this afternoon to address the widening scandal. HP's chair, Patricia Dunn, has already to announced she will step aside this coming January in the wake of a revalation that she ordered an investigation into internal board of directors leaks that led her investigators to illegally access private phone records . "By trying to contain bad news rather than getting out in front of it, HP and companies like it exacerbate their positions. Read the news accounts about the unraveling HP scandal, and you have to hunt for the reason behind the investigation. The story now and will continue to be how HP possibly broke the law, spied on nine journalists and, ultimately, violated the trust of its own leaders and unaffiliated third parties" Stay tuned... UPDATE: Board of Directors chair Patricia Dunn won't leave in January --she already has. Posted by Joe Caponi at 11:09 AM, September 22, 2006 This is a public forum.
