So, they’re really doing it. HP, the biggest PC company in the world, is announcing to the world that it’s spinning off its $40 billion PC business. With ads. That they’re debuting in a blog post. Except that they’re not really announcing it. Just sort of.

And I’m totally sure their gigantic $40 billion business is going to be just like a startup. Yep, limber as Jack Dorsey’s left pinkie.
This whole thing is just sad now. Stay in the PC business if you really believe in it! Make awesome things! Remember Voodoo? That’s what you should do. I’m going to go smoke a whole carton of cigarettes in a row or cry on a hooker or something.
