 I'm no HP historian, but it looks like the company must have just set a new personal record for how quickly it disposes of its CEOs. Less than a year after putting Leo Apotheker on the job, HP's board has sent him packing. The news became official a day after rumors began making the rounds that HP's board was looking for a replacement. It could have been a case of a lone blabbermouth, but it smells a lot like an intentional leak. Regardless of who put it out there, though, the market seemed to love the aroma.
