HP is long gone. What's left is just a printer and PC company that didn't bother to change the sign on the building.
It's as if I bought an old telephone exchange building and called it Bell Labs.
- JAlexoid 2mo agoYou couldn't, mostly because Bell Labs is owned by Nokia now.
- CamperBob2 2mo agoInteresting, TIL! I wonder what Nokia's market cap is... geez, still over $50B. Another surprise.
- formerly_proven 2mo agoThat's basically all Nokia(-Siemens) Networks.
- ahoka 2mo agoIt's Nokia again now, bought out Siemens' share more than a decade ago.
- dreamcompiler 2mo agoAT&T used to exist. Because it was a monopoly, it was broken up into the baby bells in 1982. One of which was Southwestern Bell, which eventually bought up all the other baby bells and what was left of AT&T. And then in 2005 it renamed itself...AT&T.
