The legendary Hewlett-Packard reportedly is about to become two companies.

According to the news, they will be splinted in a form that One will focus on the firm’s personal computer and printer business while the other on its business hardware and services, according to a story in today’s Wall Street Journal.



The publication, citing “people familiar with the matter,” said the split may be made public as early as tomorrow..

The Journal also said that current CEO Meg Whitman will become CEO of the enterprise-oriented company, while the independent director Patricia Russo will be chairman. Whitman will serve as chairman of the PC/printer firm, and exec Dion Weisler will be CEO.

Well i presume the reason for this change is because HP has been struggling with its dual selves of being oriented toward businesses’ high-end needs and toward personal computers and printers. Several company executives have discussed spinning off its PC unit in the past, only to be followed by the company asserting its long-term interest in PCs.

In the year 2000, as some of us may know, Agilent Technologies split off from HP, taking with it the test and measurement equipment business that was HP’s first line of business.

This company has reigned and its still reigning as the no 1 PC maker in the world, even if dropped to second place last year in the rankings of industry research firm IDC, after Lenovo, i still prefer Hp over any, its durable, and most of all it has a second hand value in my country....  Its printer/personal systems group rakes in about $56 billion in fiscal 2013, about half the company’s total, but sales are down about seven percent from the previous year.

Stanford student reveals Facebook Messenger payment feature

A payment mechanism for Facebook Messenger appears to be getting closer.


On Saturday, a Stanford University computer science student Audrew Aude tweeted that he had found a payment feature in Facebook Messenger, which he dug out with the developer tool Cycript.

Also a Security researcher Jonathan Zdziarski posted last month that he found payments-related code in Messenger, and Aude said that discovery prompted him to look further.

As at June 2014, Facebook hired ex-president of PayPal David Marcus to take the reins of Facebook Messenger, and that hiring ramped up speculation that a payment feature was coming to the app.

CEO Mark Zuckenberg mentioned on an earnings call during the summer that Facebook would be implementing some form of ecommerce in its Messenger mobile messaging app, but his comments suggested the launch was “years” away because the company wanted to get it right.

Aude reported on the Twitter platform that, “with FB messenger, you attach money just like you attach a photo or a location. You don’t even have to link a bank account.”

Although PayPal is apparently mentioned in the code, Aude said he didn’t see a PayPal option when he tried it out. Only debit cards can be used in the present incarnation, he said — no credit cards or bank accounts — and there are only person-to-person transactions. Payment between multiple participants is mentioned in a note as a later option, Aude said.

The transaction is made via an ACH electronic transfer to the checking account of the recipient, although it’s not yet clear how the recipient’s bank account is entered. Unlike so many other things you do on Facebook, Aude said the payment transaction is kept private from your friends.

Facebook has not commented on the report.

HTC Set To Release Its Exclusive Apps To The Rest Of Android

HTC is set to release its in-house apps to other android enabled devices.

HTC has been making Android skins and apps for a long time, but now the company wants its home-grown software to conquer more devices.According to report from Recode, the Taiwanese phonemaker has started developing apps for Android phones in general, courtesy of a new business unit called HTC Creative Labs.

The Creative Labs team’s first product is called Zoe (originally available on the One M7), which has the power to stitch together up to 16 videos or images. You merely need to select a theme along with the images/videos, as well as a soundtrack, and it can automatically create a highlight reel.. HTC also developed Zoe to be able to share creations, so friends and family can tweak them, perhaps in an effort to come up with an Instagram or Vine of its own.
Still, the app’s pretty basic at this point, and while it’ll be available to competitors like Samsung and LG, it can only be installed on high-end devices loaded on with al least a version 4.4 Android


HTC has plans to help boost Zoe’s presence despite those limitations, though, including forging partnerships with music and sports companies.

The new Zoe will come out later this week, with more to follow, as the Creative Labs team plans to release other HTC apps from its own phones’ confines in the future.
