PC and printers in one company, enterprise products and services in the other.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting ( http://online.wsj.com/news/article_email/hewlett-packard-plans-to-break-in-two-1412530028-lMyQjAxMTE0OTAzNTEwNjUzWj?tesla=y ) that HP will break up into two separate companies. According to the report, the company appears ready to split into separate "Consumer" and "Enterprise" companies, with PCs and printers ending up in one company and corporate hardware and services operations going to the other. The Journal says HP plans to announce the move "as early as Monday."

    Or cut horizontally, and (with some interpretation) you get UD and MI.

      How about we just split the first two words that describe HP's computers down the middle and get:

      Utter
      and
      Shite.

      I do actually like their printers, except for that the ink's cost is absurdly high. Maybe they should spin off their printer division...

      Actually, that would be more like UD and ΠΙ.

      The second one sounds quite geeky—I might buy something from a company named after π.
