I’m reading a bunch of blogs about HP’s board and, man, does it get worse and worse.

Check this out: testimony in front of the U.S. House of Representatives by HP’s Scott Taylor, Chief Privacy Officer. What did he tell them? “First and foremost is that privacy is actually a core value at HP. As a company, HP is 100 percent committed to excellence in consumer and employee privacy…” 

Now compare that to what Patricia Dunn, chairwoman at HP apparently did. Lying. Breaking the law. And invading people’s privacy.

If Patricia Dunn is ever hired to a company I’m working for I’m instantly quitting. She should be fired. Instantly. Without cause. Without a severance check. Without ANYTHING. (She should listen to Paul Kedrosky, who calls on her to resign, and save HP and its shareholders from this trouble).

HP, do you have no shame?

Hewlett and Packard are twisting in their graves tonight. What a shame. Whatever happened to “the HP way?” It died today.

UPDATE: congrats again to Tom Perkins, the guy who walked out in disgust. The letter he sent to HP’s board is now online.

UPDATE 2: Dave Taylor, who worked at HP with both Hewlett and Packard, gives us the historical context behind why this can be traced back to Carly Fiorina’s time running HP. The Washington Post also reports that HP is saying that the “leaker” also leaked info leading up to Carly’s firing.

Weird, on Sunday Pradeep Sethi emailed me this cool video about Halfmoon Bay coffeehouses (all the stuff you see is real near our new home).

Then today the San Jose Mercury News has an article on TurnHere, the company who is doing a ton of these cool videos.

Funny enough how did I learn about this? My RSS feed? No. My email? No. Digg? No. Someone left a copy of the dead trees version on a coffee table in the office. Heheh, I guess that’s justice, huh?

Anyway, nice videos about cool places.

I might have to take back what I said about Vista. Even more people are IM’ing me saying they love RC1 of Vista.
