Nice window dressing

Nice window dressing by the FED's playing catch up, rather than be shown up as the slackers they are, by the California Equivalent!

But then again, since the man's boss in DC, has yet to show any independence of thought or action since his days in Texas in the same job, will this investigation find it's way to his circula file folder, and never see the light of day ever again!

Oh well, time is not his side, that's for sure, if 1600 Pennsyvania Ave DC, decides to take action , based on the party's wallet size and past favors due!

Not Going To Sweep This Under The Rug....

It's heartening to see so many agencies taking this behavior seriously.
HP's tactics were going to be to just hide in a dark corner and be real quiet and let the dust settle. That way nothing has to change and the "Dunn Gang" can continue doing what they have done so far which I don't think we have even seen everything yet. As in how many other occasions did they use this tactic and to whom?
Stock analysts and Major stockholders you'd better check your phone records for illegal access.
It's called Conspiracy to Defraud and it's covered in the RICO Act.

Hypocrisy Alert: Spidey sense tingling!

Gathering your phone records: If HP Chairman Patricia Dunn does it then it is a violation of privacy and an illegal instigation of identity fraud. But if National Intelligence Director John Negroponte and NSA Director Lt. Gen. Keith Alexander do it on a grand scale then it's... wait no... it's still illegal under the Bill of Rights. One is a company another is a government agency. Everyone (mass media) is up in arms about HP's small potatoes violation of privacy, yet anyone could care less about the government's much bigger violation. HP may get a slap on the wrist, however the government will get off scott free. I say don?t punish HP; it?ll only bring light to our hypocrisy. Oh wait? I forgot, that is why we are punishing HP? to create the facade of justice. Well, perception is reality. Hurray for government, our privacy is saved!

I seem to have missed...

"Dunn apologized to reporters on Friday but also stressed the damage that the leaks had caused to the company and its reputation."

Just what was the damage to HP's reputation?

In my opinion, HP's Computer junk, has little reputation for competence to begin with. I'm reminded of just one of many instances of driver files for HP with .tmp extensions, out of many I could list in the years I've been repairing the blasted stuff.

Gender?

Is the inability to run HP a gender thing? Inquiring minds are looking for clues

Der Fraulein Fuer, Patrica Dunn . . .

Siege hiel, with a snap of the high heels as der fuer Patrica Dunn commanded her orders. "I have hired commercial brown shirts, so the rest the board had better get in line when orders are give by der Fuer,She shouted!" "Yours is not to reason why, your s just to do or die!" "When I say squat s**t, your response should be, "How high and what color fraulein Fuer!""

Kind of reminds me of an ex girlfriend's mother. When we started to go out with each other, she called me up and informed me that if her daughter ended up pregnant, "She would hire a hit and have me killed! (kind of like closing the barn door after horse got out, in the second place at that time were not have any sexual intercourse, did later on though, but not at that time)" My response to her was that being as she threatened my life, if anything happened to me at anyplace, anytime that a letter was to be released to whatever local police the incidence happened at. I informed both her husband and her what would happen. Then there was another time that she reminded me of my station in life, "That they were rich and I was poor, that they could do anything to me and there was not anything I could do about it!" What all this is leading up to is this is the fact why women are not promoted more to top ranks as CEO's on boards. They think because they are were they are that they can do just about anything they want and get away with it. Patty girl was advised as to how to proceed, but she was Queen Nefertiti and she was going to do it her, albeit illegal way.

This is why we have Enron and WorldCom, because we have people who think ethics are everyone else's problem, not theirs, they are too high and mighty to be caught.

Just another game of SPY vs SPY

Lets see?..... HP is white and BUSHboy (and his misfits) is
black. Being black they can hide in the shadows and no one
will see them (so they think) and they can (again) steal what
they no not what they are playing with (but you can bet
THEY WILL use it on us Americans) under the deception of
waving the FLAG with a Grand 'good-ol-boy' patriotic
attitude and protecting us where we need NO PROTECTION!
I can hear the song now from the Wizard of OZ (if only I had
a brain).
