HP to invest $1 Billion in . . . Singapore

Fiorina's company: this pretty much says it all:

Hewlett-Packard Co. (HP) will invest US$1 billion in Singapore over the next five years to bring its high-end manufacturing closer to the fast-growing Asia-Pacific end user market, the company said in a statement Tuesday.

The company opened a new 20,000 square-foot manufacturing line in Singapore to produce its top-end Superdome server range, reflecting the fact that China and South Korea are two of the fastest-growing markets for the product, which is designed to run business-critical applications across a range of operating systems.

HP did not say whether the new investment would lead it to increase the almost 6,000 staff it currently employs in Singapore. More than one-third of those work in research and development or value-added engineering, HP said.

It seems not everyone is happy about it:

Margaret Bartley, the technology chair of the Washington Alliance of Technology Workers, said the timing on the announcement couldn't be worse, coming two days after Carly Fiorina, HP chairman and chief executive officer, was quoted as saying high-tech industries need more U.S. taxpayer support for research and development.

Maybe HP is for HyPocrite?
