What happens to government affairs teams when two companies combine? That is yet to be determined in the case of the Washington lobby shops for EDS and Hewlett-Packard after HP's acquisition of EDS closed on Aug. 26.

Hewlett-Packard spokeswoman Pamela Bonney said the company is still working through the integration of these government affairs teams -- and the structure of a new team is not finalized -- just as the company is working through the integration of the other parts of EDS.  Asked to respond to rumors that some staff could be leaving, Bonney said, "People are making decisions about the future of their careers. And we are unable to make any further comment on individuals." David Isaacs of HP said in an email that he is "leaving HP before the holidays."  Bonney confirmed that the company has made no new hires on its government affairs team in the last two months.

Ideally, when it comes to fusions, I can`t think of anything better in terms of joining competitive services. Especially when it comes to IT industry giants, like the ones mentioned in this post. I can find a parallel in my mind with a simple theoretic example: wisest decision is to turn to some exe files, in order to compress data and take up less space. It`s exactly the same thing when you think of companies undergoing a fusion. It means saving up some resources for the sake of doubling successful results.

Used Refurbished Laptops

Wednesday, April 8, 2009

bought the laptop on March from a BestBuy and it broke on April. The video screen got corrupted/jumbled and didn't work anymore. I sent it back to HP, through BestBuy since HP has a 1 year warranty on it. When in line at BestBuy to send it back, I found out there were 2 other people waiting in line to send their HP Laptops (the same model I had) for the exact same problem!  
HP sent it back and refused to fix it because they said the machine was "dirty". How can "dirty" be a deal-breaker?!!! I had the laptop in a normal desk setup, it didn't get any more dirty than anything else around it. Saying they won't fix something because it's "dirty" gives them card-blanch to refuse service on ANYTHING! Basically their warranties mean NOTHING!!! Don't buy from this company - they make faulty equipment that they refuse to service for any reason or no reason at all.
