The H-P flap
Things are sounding weirder by the minute in the flap between H-P and Tom Perkins. First, they say that this one director was leaking details to the public. Not such a major crime, but strange in any case.
Then, we get this ridiculous euphemism - "pretexting". PRETEXT-ing? Anyone with the slightest commonsense can see how close the WORD is to PRETEND-ing! Larry Sonsini said it's legal!
Come ON! Tom Perkins sits here in the middle of Silicon Valley, funding the most sophisticated technology and Larry Sonsini is giving legal advice to these companies. What's wrong with them?
