    Wait whoa HP also announced that they're giving up on the PC business. Why??

    They're the largest PC maker on the planet.

    Quitting means three things:

    1.) Higher ink prices (which are already half the cost of the printers)
    2.) No more cool things like the Envy.
    3.) Disappearance of AMD CPUs in the desktop OEM market.

    So HP has cancelled WebOS and their PC's?

    Actually, they only cancelled webOS hardware and PCs, not webOS.

    Ok then, does that mean no more production of their PCs?

    They were stupid in selecting their new CEO. He's going to ruin HP's already crappy products.

    I heard that they were going to discontinue PCs and focus on servers and work with businesses. I don't know of it's true though.
