Those guys and gals at iFixit love nothing more than destroying something beautiful and, in the process, finding out exactly what makes it tick. The latest victim of their reckless deconstructive tendencies is HP’s Z1 .
A few days ago, HP accidentally listed the unannounced Envy 4 and 6 on a support page within its American website.
You may think your job is cool, but do you work at Hewlett Packard’s Elite PC reliability testing lab? It’s the sort of place you’ll find robots opening and closing DVD trays thousands of times and levers constantly opening laptops to see if its hinges can withstand your daily commute.
In news that should come as little surprise to anyone who’s followed the decline of the ill-fated brand, HP is reportedly laying off 275 webOS employees as it transitions the division from producing hardware to open source software.

If you fancy yourself a power user, HP’s got a “world’s first” trick up its sleeve that might lure you in. Earlier today, the Palo Alto outfit took the wraps off its newest all-in-one , the HP Z1. This workstation is a mere distant cousin to HP’s consumer-focused Omni and TouchSmart lines — not that that’s a bad thing

Former Palm chief Jon Rubinstein has left Hewlett-Packard , having completed the 24-month commitment period he agreed to when HP acquired Palm . An HP spokesperson has confirmed the story, first reported by AllThingsD , in a brief statement: “Jon has fulfilled his commitment and we wish him well.” Rubinstein rose to fame as a hardware guru at NeXT, ultimately joining Apple after the company acquired NeXT in 1996.
