no there's plenty of hp products still using rs232

since they're all used for high margin business related products they should be spun off shortly so hp can focus on consumer oriented low margin products

3com was dead long before hp bought them

3com entered a joint venture with a chinese firm you may have heard of, huawei. they liked the products of the jv (H3C) so much they fired basically 100% of the u.s. staff. all that was left stateside was a sales office. 3com then bought huawei's share in H3C. so by the time of acquisiton, 3com was a chinese firm (H3C) with an american headquarters building (3com hq in ... i wanna say, santa clara?)

amusingly hp/h3c and huawei now have a partnership to sell h3c gear

"Tinder’s new premium service has launched in the UK, but the price will vary, depending on your age. According to the the Evening Standard, Tinder Plus costs £3.99 (about $6), and will grant you features like unlimited likes and the ability to go back on your last swipe, but that price jumps to £14.99 (about $23) for users over 28."

i think this is the opposite phenomenon . if you're over 28, single, and hang out in bar-type places where tinder would be useful, you potentially have a lot more disposable income than the 19 year old dabbling in it

so, imagine if espn put an extra $5 on your cable bill for every 28-49 male

When Mumford & Sons stray from their tales of romantic martyrdom, the results are actually worse. Late in the album, "Dust Bowl Dance" kicks up some American Gothic ambience with what sounds like the least believable stab at a murder ballad ever set to record. "I'll go out back and I'll get my gun," Mumford sings, like a man who had never handled a firearm in his life. "I said, 'You haven't met me, I am the only son.'" When the Sons' electric guitars finally kick in, the song descends from ill-advised to downright embarrassing. Live, it's probably their closer, but "Dust Bowl Dance" hints that Mumford & Sons are in the costume business. They're playing dress-up in threadbare clothes.
