Meg Whitman: cyberattack of 9/11 scale likely, be aware of global terrorism

I couldn't help but roll my eyes at this. Yet I have to wonder: who would have to say this in order for me to take it seriously? Jeff Bezos? Larry Ellison? A Washington Talking Head? An FBI Spokesman?

In any case, what's alarming to me is that I can't take Meg Whitman seriously over anything related to hardcore technology. That is disconcerting for me when thinking about HP's future.

Then again, I am biased since I balked at her appointment in the first place.

She thought she was still running for governor?

No. That's over. Now she seems to be running for Director of Homeland Security. It's good to have a back-up.
