HP's sad demise continues, claiming dirty tricks in the Autonomy buy out. I only know a little about Autonomy - but it always felt like a company over selling a dubious capability. Oracle famously turned up their noses, with Ellison seeing the business was not worth what was claimed.
That left HP to wade in and lose their money. In some ways this is what UK companies of old (think Ferranti) fell foul of, buying an American concern that simply was not worth the money!
Cringely has a good article:
