WSJ: AMD's Meyer lacked vision, ousted accordingly
We thought the story behind former AMD CEO Dirk Meyer's resignation wouldn't be as juicy as that of HP CEO Mark Hurd, but they've actually got something in common -- neither had a visionary strategy for entering the smartphone and tablet markets. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Meyer's hesitation, particularly towards tablets, may have cost him the job, and that the company pressured him into resignation after he showed disinterest in mobile devices at this year's CES. Sounds familiar to us, but we still don't expect any sex scandals or fraudulent reports out of this one.
Flickr Find: A familiar logo
You can call Steve Jobs a visionary if you want, but the Vanzettis are the real visionaries -- who would have ever thought of using a computer company's logo to sell fruit?! Though it's a little bit squished and the colors are different than we've ever seen (a red apple and a green leaf? why didn't they ever use that on the old IIe's?), the old bite-out-of-the-apple logo is definitely very familiar.We doubt Apple will take any legal action here -- the Mac makers having a problem with a fruit company would be like a record company having a problem with Apple (oh wait). As long as Vanzetti never tries to release an iOrange, they'll probably be fine.Thanks, Lucky!
