Scary how easy it was to get all of these phone records!

Here's a link to all of the letters, including one from AT&T, where they describe how the fraudulent requests for online phone records was made.

Dunn is 52
Perkins is 74
I think Dunn has the clear advantage - however, Dunn is recovering from breast cancer and melanoma

There is an e-mail dated July 28 addressed to her from Mr. Perkins detailing the "pretexting" which was used to obtain his phone records.

Or maybe acting ethically is its own reward.

It's pretty obvious that Patricia Dunn made a power grab, but shot herself in the foot instead. She wanted to use this 'leak investigation' to oust existing board members and replace them with her cronies. But the other side was not stupid and might have even set a trap. I think Dunn's days at HP are numbered. She will ruthlessly rushed out the door like Carly.

Hurd will be CEO and Chairman. I don't see that changing. Do you think Dunn will be forced off the board altogether?

but since Hurd has turned the stock around (80% increase since he took over), his halo effect is pretty strong.

A deserving end for another power-hungry wench! A little mysogynist?

Mark Hurd is the big winner: his reputation remains untarnished, he has consolidated his power at HP, and he enjoys investors' confidence (HP's stock is making 52 weeks highs while this soap opera is being played out). With Perkins gone, Keyworth and Dunn forced out, and Wayman near retirement, he now gets to fill 4 board members with his allies.

If Mark Hurd goes down, HP will be in trouble, and Dell will laugh its butt off. This could turn into a PR disaster of epic proportions.

Today, Dunn resigned from the board, effective immediately.

I think there are perhaps still other shoes to drop. We'll have to see how Hurd is implicated.

Don't worry. Internal corporate politics is a higher priority then competition.
