今日科技:惠普高层人事变动
* 惠普(HP)昨天宣布了一项重大的高层人事变动,导致行政总监彼得•伯希安和技术总监兰迪•莫特迅速离职,惠普企业业务部的常务副总裁安•利弗莫尔辞去原职,成为公司董事会成员。与此同时,常务副总裁戴夫•多纳特利、比尔•维迪和简•扎达克都获得了晋升,以后将直接向首席执行官李艾科汇报工作。【数字大会(All Things D)】 * 最近媒体纷纷热炒Facebook可能将进行一次价值1,000亿美元的首次公开募股(IPO),不过我的同事丹•普利马克认为,我们暂且不必急着争论Facebook的估值问题,因为Facebook直到今年10月或11月才会向美国证监会递交上市申请。【《财富》(Fortune)】 * 三星(Samsung)将在本季度成为全球最大的智能手机制造商,诺基亚(Nokia)15年的手机霸主地位就此宣告终结。而苹果(Apple)公司也将在明年跃升为第二大智能手机厂商,从而将诺基亚挤到季军的位置。【路透社(Reuters)】 * 企业家洛基•阿格瓦尔日前撰文称,团购网站Groupon行将崩溃。另一位企业家更表示,与Groupon的合作是她有史与来做过的“最坏的决策”。【科技博客TechCrunch】 * 《纽约时报》(New York Times) 的时评分析了政客们被现代媒体 “灼伤”的现象。【《纽约时报》(New York Times)】 * 照片分享服务Instagram的用户群跨过了500万人的大关。鉴于这项服务刚刚推出8个月,这的确是个了不起的成就。【科技博客TechCrunch】 * 据报道,虚拟化解决方案厂商VMWare准备以8,500美元的价格收购以色列的软件即服务(Saas)公司Digital Fuel。Digital Fuel目前的投资方包括万宝环球资本(Benchmark Capital)、以色列种子投资合伙公司(Israel Seed Partners)和安佰深公司(Apax Partners)等。【《环球报》(Globes)】 译者:朴成奎 |
* HP announced a pretty major executive shake-up yesterday which resulted in Peter Bocian, chief administrative officer, and CIO Randy Mott's immediate departure, and Ann Livermore, executive vice president of HP's Enterprise Business, stepping down to join the board of directors. Meanwhile, EVPs Dave Donatelli, Bill Veghte, and Jan Zadak are all getting promoted and will report directly to CEO Leo Apotheker.
