It’s easy to sit here and make lots of jokes about HP and their recent drama. The musical CEOs, the abortive interest in selling off their hardware division, and especially their roller coaster ride with webOS. It’s also easy to be upset about their constant failure to make a go of a solid, well-respected operating […]
I’m sure you know the details, but I’ll briefly go over them just in case you don’t. IBM recently named Virginia Rometty as their new CEO. She’s been with the company since 1981 when she was hired as an engineer. For the last 30 years, she’s been using that big beautiful brain of hers, her […]
Welcome back to the Tablet Thursday digest! HP has surprised everyone by updating a tablet — just not the one anyone is interested in.

Rumors have been flying around for a few days that computer giant HP was looking to shed their CEO Léo Apotheker. Here at Techcitement, we try to avoid rumors, but the impact of this one was enough to cause HP’s floundering stock to spike up. That was not a good sign for Apotheker. Low and […]
Amazon is poised on the brink on making a tremendous impact to the world of tablets. No tablet manufacturer has yet managed to create a product with a cohesive ecosystem, aggressive marketing, and fluidity of operation of the iPad.

Tablet watching is turning into a really fun hobby, because there’s just so much going on.

The End-of-Lifed HP TouchPad has proven to be insanely popular. So much so that it turns out HP will be re-starting production for a limited run. The really crazy bit is that if they price these at the existing firesale price of $99 for a 16 GB TouchPad, then HP loses close to$200 a system. […]
