Given the news from Hewlett Packard today about the HP board reportedly firing CEO Leo Apotheker and replacing him with board member (and former eBay CEO) Meg Whitman, I could write a new column or take the easy way out and simply reprint my column from February 23rd predicting in some detail both events. Instead I’ll just include a link to that column since it includes 85 very entertaining reader comments that look in retrospect either brilliant or stupid.
That’s what I expect will be my epitaph: “He was either brilliant or stupid.”
If Leo in fact gets the boot today I’ll follow with a column tomorrow about Meg Whitman as HP CEO.
