Because every time one turns around, you have something foul to say
about some firm or group.
Dreadful name; sounds Taiwanese. Nobody is going to want to buy a Keysight
signal generator.
Interesting that HP spun off the profitable stuff, and Agilent ditto.

Of course
everybody in the business was calling Agilent "Flatulent" for the first
few months.

Sexy test gear!
Maybe hindsight would have worked?

Moto: "We're in the cell phone business."
HP: "We're in the PC business."
Kodak: "We're in the film business."
Intel?
Microsoft?
XBOX is doing OK. And you can buy a Microsoft mouse. I think the big
seller is Office.
Intel keeps trying other stuff (iapx32, bubble memory, Xscale, etc)
but it never works.
High volume things tend to become cheap or free commodities. That's
lethal to a business that bets on keeping up the prices for that
stuff. Why buy Windows Server when Linux is better and free? What's a
cell phone worth now? $20 at Safeway?
I wonder if Apple can keep charging premium prices in the long term.
The audience for hipness is fickle.
Well, that one is taken. But, maybe Rigor might work. as in
Rigor (mortis).
Hmmm... Looks like the trademark ownership hasn't been passed to HP
quite yet. It's currently owned by Corundum Holdings.

Perhaps HP is waiting for public reaction before paying for the name?
