I think this place bashes the Inq to much, they have a LOT of good reports and a lot of things people bash them for immediately but they come true a few months later. They usually beat this place to the punch also. Heck I read the news there and already have the story by 6am, when it's not usually posted here until far later in the day. Envy? AT/DT has been blowing it a lot lately (exaggerated headlines, XP 64bit is Orphaned (ROFL), worthless E8400 article etc (overclocking voids warranty and kills chips - OCing doom gloom article)...LOL), but I could find something to dislike at any place over the years. As a forum user, or hardware site reader I have no love for any of them and don't care where I get my info as long as it's good info. Nobody is perfect so it is necessary for us to use more than one source (heck more than 4 probably). Do I like some of the people more in certain forums? Sure. But I don't care about the name on the forum or the hardware site. Just the info. People should get over this "site love"... Is that "love at first site"?...LOL
On to the subject at hand, if they're not firing Hector who cares. They're firing (just another word for laying off...LOL) the wrong people. There's a reason he's on the HALL OF SHAME on Mad Money.... He should be tarred and feathered for getting 9mil when his company lost 3.5B? Jeez. Throw him off a roof-top. He should give all that back. It should be against the law (yeah pass this law..heh) to make money as a CEO when your company loses more than your salary. It should just be made law. Didn't he ruin motorola too? He left before the real crap hit the fan but it's totally dead now (if you're a shareholder that is). While you're at it add a law that "pay is commensurate with earnings" to really clean things up. For instance, no CEO can earn more than X % of company earnings. Add no golden parachute clause to that law also. There. The world is fixed. ROFL. Stockholders everywhere REJOICE! ROFLMAO. A pipe dream I know. But hey, they're at least asking if the FED should get involved in taking action against CEO pay. Hmm...Saw that on CNBC today. Every CEO that threw their company down the toilet recently for billions in losses made 150Mil+ in golden parachutes (we'll see how big Hectors is when he leaves). Apparently you need to be hired as CEO, completely fail and you retire with 200Million (some were 225m-250mil!). It really pays to screw up as CEO. Worldcom, Citigroup, Merril l, HomeDepot, Pfizer etc..
