Better late than never dept: In a long posting on his blog, Rahul Sood announced that HP was taking over his small, 15 year old games PC company, and he was going to become "Chief Technologist of the Worldwide Gaming Division at Hewlett Packard".
It was, in a sense, predictable. HP is trying to compete with Dell and become the world's biggest PC manufacturer, and Dell had already picked up Voodoo's main rival, Alienware. However, Voodoo shopped the company to HP, rather than HP looking round for a comparable acquisition to Dell's.
HP has also introduced some high-def HD-DVD products: a 17-inch widescreen notebook PC, an HD-DVD Media Center TV PC with 7.1 surround sound, and an HD-DVD external drive for PCs. See the press release for more info.
