HP jobs, is there a difference if its in Palo Alto or Anywhere else ?
You can either have lots of jobs here or high priced homes... but not both!
Its no wonder for decades he had a balance of jobs and homes in the BA.
But today, many have tipped it against jobs... so dont be surprised !

HP is announcing 16000 job cuts.
I know they're not ALL in the bay area so this means that BA real estate should only double--vs. triple--by next year.
Google, Apple and the start ups will snap them up in no time.
and the start ups will snap them up in no time.
Are you kidding? Lol. But on a more serious note, the layoffs are likely disproportionately Americans, while HP will continue to bring in H-1B's by the plane-load as they've been doing for the past decade without even granting top domestic talent that applies to their firm the "courtesy of a response".

yeah right, buddy.
HP makes--or at least used to make--things.
I'm sure one of these shitty meal delivery apps will snatch them all up.
What a fucking joke. HP's management should be in jail.

I'm sure HP does not want to lay them off, it's just that they have to, because business is slow. No business is going to keep employees they don't need. They would go broke.

What does Google and HP have in common.... not much!
Perhaps Apple shares some areas of HP, but their PC division
isnt profitable and PC/Laptops cannot be priced at premium.
HP died out back in 2000. Long long ago...

warnings came out years ago.... but few listened.
"It does continue to plague us and we will continue to sound the alarm."
Hewlett-Packard and Dell are the top two computer-makers in the world. Corporate headquarters for HP are located in Palo Alto and Dell is in Round Rock, Texas. Obviously, they both have people and facilities around the globe.
In those two communities where their corporate headquarters are and where a lot of research and development takes place, the median resale price for a home in Palo Alto is about $1.6 million. In Round Rock, Texas, it's about $180,000, except the home and property are bigger.
We hear from HP all the time that a huge deterrent to the ability to recruit and retain people anywhere near Silicon Valley is the housing issue. We don't hear that from Dell, which is also a member company, about their operations in Round Rock. It does continue to plague us and we will continue to sound the alarm.

When you hire foreigners into US Corporate management positions, thats what you get.

Yeah the Crapaq acquisition was the beginning of the end, and it was very obvious at the time. Kind of surprised they actually have lasted this long.

You know, both Dell and HP have not produced much in the way of cutting edge technology. HP might have some. They just make computers and printers with declining prices and sales. In this cut throat business you either innovate or you die. Look at Apple, Google, Samsung and Tesla. Incredible innovation, futuristic products and quality.

HP had decided to destroy itself, many moons ago.
Ditching Agilent, dropping the DEC Alpha & the PA-RISC Unix architectures (for Itanium), and then, ditching PCs & Smart Phones. And in place of doing something, they'd bought EDS, a backoffice support company, BFD!
If they wanted to go the way of EDS, they needed to fire up to 80% of the company.
Basically, that's Computer Associates Part II, not the once great Hewlett-Packard.
Look at Apple, Google, Samsung and Tesla. Incredible innovation, futuristic products and quality.
You mean Intel in the way Apple, Samsung and others use it.
Tesla ? not really innovative.. electric cars have been around for a while.
Guess you can all a Delorean innovative as well in the auto industry.

The first cars were electric, but they never took off even after repeated attempts. Tesla made it happen. That is innovation.
That is innovation.
Must be a new defination.. here is the official def: "An innovation is something original, new, and important in whatever field that breaks in to a market or society".
Original - Fail
New - Fail
Markets - Fail, since many players are in the same market
PS... Samsung are big on theft of Silicon Valley inventions... always have been.

It's still innovation. He discovered a new process to make it happen.
