My company standardized on HPs while she was running things. The product line when to hell and the software bloat was epic. Everything has "Innovation" on it and it was a open joke around the shop. Every HP that I had to set up, meant at least an hour of stripping out bloated crap just to make it functional.

Oh and the spying thing, doing it badly, getting caught, then fired for it really makes her look like a dunce. I'm astonished she's even bothering to run. She got spanked in her Senatorial run, what makes her think she's viable for President?

Republicans around my office were pretty high on her after watching highlights of the JV 'debate' then I reminded them about the spying thing and they were like "oh...."

The rest of the link is great tho.
