The Friday Special: The HP CEO Shuffle - Good News/Bad News

Alas, the ouster of Leo Apotheker  as HP CEO is one of those classic good news/bad news scenarios...

The Good News -- Meg Whitman is the new HP CEO, meaning that Leo Apotheker is out.

The Bad News -- Meg Whitman is the new HP CEO. Feels like an "any port in a storm" move on the part of the HP board.



Some other thoughts on the matter...

• The Good News -- (Insert any name here) is the new HP CEO, meaning that Leo Apotheker is out.

• If Pee Wee Herman, like Meg Whitman, were sitting on the HP board since January, could he have been the new CEO today?

I'm not seeing Whitman as the fix to what ails HP.

Anyone have Pee Wee Herman's phone number handy?
