Hewlett-Packard has announced that former Verizon Wireless SVP and CIO John Hinshaw has agreed to join the company to serve as its executive vice president of Global Technology and Business Processes, a newly created position.

Hinshaw most recently worked at The Boeing Company, where he was vice president and general manager of Boeing Information Solutions. His job there involved delivering information solutions to the U.S. government, among other tasks.

He will report to recently appointed HP chief exec Meg Whitman.

He’ll also join the company’s executive council on November 15.

In addition to Hinshaw’s appointment, HP also announced that it has promoted Craig Flower to senior vice president and CIO (he will report directly to Hinshaw).

Flower, who has been with HP since 1984, will be responsible for ‘data management, application architecture, global business intelligence, sales, and product development and engineering applications’ according to a press statement.

The news comes just days after the announcement of the departure of Phil McKinney, CTO for HP’s Personal Systems Group (its PC division, if you will). McKinney said he would be retiring to advise other companies on innovation.

Another executive, EVP and chief strategy and technology officer Shane Robison, also recently announced that he would be retiring at the beginning of this month.

Whitman has one hell of a job ahead of her trying to turn the giant HP ship around and orchestrate a successful reorganization with a vision that safeguards its future.

As always in times of transitions, expect more executives to join – and leave.

Desktops that are priced under $1000 are often some of the most popular. This is true especially this time of year as parents are starting to make purchases for their children in anticipation for the upcoming school year. I have been lucky enough to get my hands on the HP Pavilion A6120N which falls into this pricing category. I’m going to let you know how it performs for me and if it is worth the investment.

Hardware:

Processor: 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 dual-core

Storage Space: 320 GB Serial ATA hard drive

RAM: 2 GB of RAM (upgradable to a 4 GB maximum)

Optical Drive: a 16x DVD-/+ with integrated CD R/RW burner

Graphics Accelerator: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (using 64 MB of dedicated memory and up to 256 MB partitioned over from RAM)

The hardware is decent on this desktop with a good power plant in the 2GHz Intel chip. I like the robust hard drive with the 320GB be adequate for the capabilities of this PC. The at 2GB allows for Vista to run smoothly but is a minimum in my opinion (this can be upgraded to a 4GB maximum which should lengthen the time this computer is effective for the owner). Boot times are good in my opinion but can be improved by removing some of the unneeded trial ware that HP has included on this desktop. I saw minimal lag while multitasking with a number of tabbed browsers and Microsoft office applications. The graphics card unfortunately didn’t lend itself to playing very graphically intensive games so hardcore gamers can stay from this one.

Connectivity:

6 2.0 USB ports (these are the standard connections for peripherals such as scanners, digital cameras and iPods)

2 FireWire ports (these are designed for high speed transfer and can be between digital camcorders or other compatible PCs)

2 PS/2 ports (old school input device ports)

1 VGA monitor output (a typical monitor connection)

2 audio outputs / 2 microphone inputs

4 standard surround sound speaker outputs

15 in 1 media card reader (these slots allow the consumer to directly insert memory from their mobile devices into the PC)

I like the connectivity in this computer, however there is nothing that really sets it apart from the pack. This desktop is perfect for families and students. It’s going to do all the work you need – it will run office programs fine, even Photoshop. This desktop is going to download music, watch movies, and manage family videos. With an average online price of about $700 this desktop is right on target. There may however be some price fluctuations when the August high season hits but I don’t foresee it falling below $600.
