MY COMMENT: After a turbulent period since former CEO
Carly Fiorina led the Compaq acquisition, now the current CEO Meg Whitman is
leading the split of H-P in two companies: HP Inc. (PCs and printers) and
Hewlett Enterprise (enterprise tools and solutions).
The technology giant
did not work properly selling a big variety of consumer and enterprise products
together.
But till now, it is
early, to know if the new formula will give the possibility that the two new
companies grow well, or this step will be the path to the grave of the
enterprise that long time ago the friends Hewlett and Packard started in a
small garage of Palo Alto, California. 1 Recommendation 06/30/2015 01:24:25 PM
MY COMMENT: The news comments about the demonstrations in
the capital of Armenia against the increase of the cost of the
electricity and the relationships of the utility provider with Russia.
We have to hope that
the Armenians solve their problems among them, without the intervention of
others.
A new civil war like the Ukrainian conflict could complicate the political future of a region with a very bloody past. 1 Recommendation 06/30/2015 12:42:12 PM

MY COMMENT: This story titled “How Global Threats Have Crowded
Obama’s Diplomacy Agenda” is a review of the foreign relations agenda of the
Obama Administration and the main international events since 2009.
It shows that during
the period of the current Administration nearly nothing was settled in the
right way because the Obama agenda crashed against a series of events out of
control of the American government.
Also the possible
nuclear agreement with Iran and the new foreign relations with Cuba are two events that nobody knows what
implications will have in the future from a political perspective.
In summary old and
new problems remain without solution and the horizon looks gloomy.

MY COMMENT: We see in the photos of the last news that
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and its financial partner till
now smile like all runs well. From the other side, we can observe the terrible
faces of the elders and poor retirees, who are the first victims of this
financial earthquake.
Again when the
politicians make promises without foundation, they generate more social problems
that solutions. 2 Recommendations 06/29/2015 02:16:40 PM
MY COMMENT: It is not surprise that Puerto Rico is living a serious financial problem. The
island, the U.S. commonwealth, saw the decline of its economy long time ago.
But till now always
the central government helped it. We have to see how will happen now…2 Recommendations

MY COMMENT: The bombing attack against the convoy of the Egypt’s top prosecutor Hisham Barakat shows that
the terrorists go to any place when the target is to kill a top official and the
security measures don’t help.
The "modus
operandi" of the terrorists makes difficult to avoid the murder of who receives
a death threat of a terror organization. 1 Recommendation 06/29/2015 01:11:15 PM
MY COMMENT: It is evident that the Greek crisis will
complicate the situation to everybody.
However, the
European Union cannot put down the rules for Greece. After that, it will have to act in the same
way to help Spain, Portugal and others.
If all continue like
now, the financial chaos would hit the rest of Europe, United States and everyone linked with these countries in
businesses.
For this reason, it
would be better if the Greeks accept the austerity plan instead of burn
European Union flags and make unrest. 1 Recommendation 06/29/2015 10:26:02 AM
MY COMMENT: Elon Musk has a lot of success in his
businesses of the Earth, but in his spatial plans, the situation looks
complicated.
The explosion of the
SpaceX’s Falcon 9 Rocket is the second failure of an entrepreneur with ambitions
that climb to sky. 1 Recommendation 06/28/2015 03:35:41 PM
MY COMMENT: Again Iran in the news! The negotiations of the
nuclear-deal have a new delay.
The Iranians want to
gain the game for the tiredness of the other negotiators. 1 Recommendation 06/28/2015 03:22:55 PM
MY COMMENT: The Greek financial crisis is entering a new
more painful cycle. When they don’t have more euros, they will have to deal
with “stones” like in the Ancient Times. 4 Recommendations 06/28/2015 02:56:57 PM
MY COMMENT: The Islamic State is the United Nations of
Terror. 1 Recommendation 06/28/2015 02:46:48 PM
MY COMMENT: Nothing new! The deadly blasts are
part of the life in Baghdad and Kabul. 06/27/2015 04:52:22 PM
MY COMMENT: French President François Hollande has a lot
of big problems in his hands now. The U.S. eavesdropping is an annoyance, but nothing
more. 06/27/2015 04:36:44 PM
MY COMMENT: This second terrorist attack in short time is
killing the tourism industry of Tunisia. Nobody will want to travel there.
Serious problem for
the African country and a new warning for the western tourists who make
vacations in resorts of the Islamic countries! 1 Recommendation 06/27/2015 04:19:21 PM
MY COMMENT: The story says that the top military officer
for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization thinks Russia will consolidate its position on the eastern
part of Ukraine.
His opinion is
right. The American heavy weapons and tanks across a series of countries of the
Eastern Europe give a new justification to President Putin
to conduct military operations inside Ukraine.
And this could be
the start of a new “cold war”.1 Recommendation 06/26/2015 03:02:40 PM
MY COMMENT: After the Supreme Court statement about the
gay marriage, President Obama is happy for second time in the week.
But the country will
remain divided for a long period. The 5-4 decision of the Supreme Court doesn’t
change the mind of the people who was against the gay marriage before.

MY COMMENT: The new attacks in France, Tunisia and Kuwait are serious alerts that confirm the Islamist
terrorism is spreading through different places. The terrorists want to create
a massive panic. Cruel way to manipulate the free world! 1 Recommendation 06/26/2015 02:30:56 PM
MY COMMENT: President Obama said the government will not
pay ransoms for American hostages, but it will open to advice their families.
The new decision
about the Americans kidnapped by terrorist organizations could complicate more
the situation…06/25/2015 03:29:43 PM
MY COMMENT: The statement of the U.S. Intelligence Chief
James Clapper suggesting that China is behind the OPM breach doesn’t solve the
case of the thousands of Social Security numbers stole.
Meanwhile, nobody is
talking about initiatives to block new cyber-attacks. Maybe the Chinese are
planning something more. 06/25/2015 03:05:59 PM
MY COMMENT: After the 6-3 votes of the U.S. Supreme Court
supporting the Affordable Care Act, President Obama smiles… The lobby for the
“Yes” worked well. 3 Recommendations 06/25/2015 02:34:56 PM
MY COMMENT: Bobby Jindal, Welcome to the Republican
parade! Everybody has the right to look for the nomination, but only one will
be nominated. By the way, this Republican campaign will stressful.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby
Jindal is the son of Indian immigrants. His professional and political
backgrounds are strong. He is Catholic like Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and Santorum.
