The point of the research was not to be salacious or to offend anyone. In political circles, it's known as discovering one's "negatives" -- here's […]

    • HP's Wallet-Busting Win
      The insane tug-of-war between Dell and HP for enterprise storage company 3Par has finally drawn to a close. We have a winner, if you want to call it that -- the final sale price is more than double the figure Dell initially put forward when it announced its intentions to buy 3Par a couple weeks ago, so who knows how much of that is real value and how much is […]
