Corsair AX860i Digital ATX Platinum Power Supply Review
Final Thoughts and Conclusions
Corsair's two new smart PSUs, the AX860i Digital and AX760i Digital, incorporate an imbedded DSP, which when used with the Corsair Link software allows the end user to monitor and adjust several power supply parameters like performance, noise (fan speed), and Over Current Protection (OCP) settings. And many other Corsair products also support the Link technology (memory modules, case cooling fans and lighting subsystems, GPU Node for monitoring PCI-E current loads, etc.) so you can build a state-of-the-art, high-end gaming system with a built in DACS (Data Acquisition and Control System).
The Corsair AX860i Digital ATX power supply delivers very clean DC outputs, with excellent voltage regulation and efficiency. Under light loads the AX860i runs in silent, fanless mode (up to ~30% load) and continues to be very quiet under normal operating conditions. The AX860i Digital comes with a good assortment of all-modular cables that can support the latest CPUs and multiple, high-end video cards. And let's not forget Corsair's 7-year warranty!
The MSRP for the four new Corsair power supplies are as follows:
AX860i $249.99 USD Newegg.com - $229
AX760i $229.99 USD Newegg.com - $209
AX860 $219.99 USD Newegg.com - $199
AX760 $199.99 USD Newegg.com - $179
• Smart PSU incorporates Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
• Corsair Link software allows monitoring and adjusting PSU parameters
• Up to 860W DC output, rated at 50°C
• Excellent efficiency (80Plus Platinum certified)
• Very stable voltages with excellent voltage regulation
• Very clean DC outputs with low AC ripple
• Silent during low power operation (below ~30% output)
• Very good build quality with high quality components
• Built-in self-diagnostic test feature
• Universal AC input with Active PFC
• Single +12V output up to 71.6A (860 watts)
• Six PCI-E connectors for multiple graphic card support
• Backed by a 7-year warranty
Minor Weaknesses:
• Corsair Link USB dongle not supported in Win XP (Vista or Win7 please)
• Self Test feature only works if the DC output cables are disconnected from the PSU
Corsair AX860i Digital ATX Power Supply
I would like to thank our friends at Corsair for sending us the new AX860i Digital PSU to review – thank you!
I wonder if Ron Holt would have ever imagine such awesomeness.
I wonder that nobody thought of PSU monitoring software before this; after all, the least a computer should be able to do is monitor itself, and user control of the power supply is a no-brainer. Kudos to Corsair for taking this bold step, which is kind of a gamble given the price range and state of the world economy. I think the "i" series will be a runaway best seller, despite the high price tag. Same for the "i" series of liquid CPU coolers. Enthusiasts love anything that gives them more info, control, or both, and Corsair has been delivering nicely.
Gigabyte has thought of PSU monitoring software years ago, so did nVidia with ESA supportive PSU's.
The "i" series won't be the runaway best seller. How many people shell out $250 for a 860W unit like seriously?
Most people are after bang for the buck, which is what this unit definately is not.
I have one on the way to replace my Silverstone ST65ZF.
Silence and dual/tri SLI 680 will be awesome.

I bought one and it failed to self test. First time I've spent such an amount of a PSU thinking I was getting quality and all I've got is something they couldn't be bothered to QC before leaving the factory. Very disappointed, not buying anything from Corsair ever again.
One thing "i" version is worse at than non "i" version, is having lower quality fan. AX860 non "i" has San Ace fan - generally regarded as higher quality than Yate Loons. One can argue it doesn't matter with semi passive mode in place, but it still looks out of place to have lower end fan on a supposedly premium unit.

Not only does a digger realize that it's very possible

hard without getting any gold at all. Juni, als Bombenanschläge in
Kathmandu und anderen Städten Nepals acht Tote und 22 Verletzte forderten.
Does anyone know if you have to use Corsair Link in order for this PSU to work?
You probably do, and assuming they insist that you do (Ive never seen the fan spin up on its own) you also need to use this powersupply exclusively on a windows machine, or at least have a windows virtual machine in linux running the software with the USB attached to the virtual machine (most VM apps support this) and yes I did do this until the stupid connector broke, now I just want to figure out the pinouts and voltages (which they don't release the spec for) to find out if it's really PMBus like they claim:
if it is, my motherboard has a connector for it granted I will have to make my own because the PSU's connector is missing a NC (no connection) "null" pin. This corsair link is the most idiotic thing I've ever seen and I expected to at least not get jacked for what I paid for my 1200i ... nothing more or short of that was acceptable when I made the decision to purchase it, I really shouldn't have to detail check things that are supposed to be standard.
This is a complete ripoff. Supposedly its a USB to PMBus (SMbus) interface and they indicate that it's pmbus, except every motherboard that supports pmbus is 5 pin at least, granted there is an NC pin. This power supply should be connected to mine, especially since the cheap cable broke and I never saw any advantage to this device (which is only supported in windows, so I had to attach it to a windows VM to do anything with it.) The ASMB4 management chip in my server does a decent job of managing the fan speeds and temp thresholds, and supposedly supports a conntected pmbus device, so I think I'll wait (which I really dont want to wait because I just want to be done with this already) until I can get my volt meter out of storage and see if I can hook this psu up to the pmbus connector on my motherboard. I can't think of any good reason why this wasn't done right the first time, especially on a "high end" power supply like this one.
I reckon if despite my best efforts and intentions, I may just pour lighter fluid all over the $5,000 dollar computer and set it on fire like I did the Senn. HD380 pros when I couldn't salvage the cable myself after 10 tries I could have just paid the 30 dollars, but no and I don't think I'll let this one go either.
mass produced crap is never worth what you pay for it: http://www.formfactors.org/developer%5Cspecs%5CATX_ATX12V_PS_1_1.pdf
It seems that Corsair has destroyed the value of the Link system by refusing to release the protocol used on it, so no one can do anything on Linux, or do anything on Windows for that matter other than through the GUI. Of course competitors will be motivated to reverse engineer the protocol, so the only one that Corsair is "protecting" itself from, are the army of eager software engineers that would write free software, boosting Corsair's sales. Good thinking Corsair!

Disadvantages: A tad expensive at full price
...I really like the Avon range of products and one lipstick I own is their Avon Shine Attract Lipstick. I was first attracted to this one because of the lipstick packaging as rather than being a boring cheap plastic, it was a silver casing and looked a good quality lipstick.

Hook, Line and Sinker is a (seasonal) weekly column by Judy Van Put that provides information on local fishing conditions and activities, primarily focusing on the trout fisheries of Pepacton Reservoir and nearby streams and rivers./p>
The Catskill Center for Conservation and Development hosted the first Public Forum on Brook Trout in the Catskill Mountain Region on Sunday, May 17. Trout fishers and interested members of the public filled the meeting room at the Erpf house and enjoyed the presentation given by the panel comprised of Trout Unlimited Fisheries Scientist Nat Gillespie; DEC Fisheries Manager Mike Flaherty and Ed Van Put, DEC Principal Habitat Technician and author of Trout Fishing in the Catskills.
Mark your calendar for this Sunday. The Catskill Center for Conservation and Development in Arkville is host to the very first Public Forum on Brook Trout in the Catskill Mountain Region. The public is invited to come and learn about the Catskills' most beautiful native fish. Topics will include information on the past and future of brook trout in the Catskills, including brook trout management, environmental threats to brook trout, and water quality indicators.
Flies have been hatching this past week – on trips to the East Branch of the Delaware River and the lower Beaverkill in Delaware County over the weekend there were great numbers of caddis flies in the air, on the water, and in the willows lining the banks. Some Hendricksons have made their appearance, resulting in good catches of trout, and just prior to the stocking of our area streams, reports of catches of good-sized wild and holdover trout have come in.
Fishing this past week was a bit slow. Mike Cornwell, of Al's Sports Store, Downsville, reported one nice brown trout taken by Gary Skiba of Binghamton. Gary used a Gold Krocodile to catch his fish, which weighed six pounds, 10 ounces. Mike also noticed a good number of flies hatching along the river, and hitting his windshield as he drove home.
A check with the NYC DEP Web site shows that current reservoir levels are as follows: Pepacton, 98.3 percent capacity; Cannonsville, 99.3 percent (no longer spilling – which is good news for West Branch anglers); Schoharie, 90.3 percent capacity; Ashokan, 94.6 percent; Rondout, 96.3 percent; and Neversink, 98.1 percent.

Stanislao Cannizzaro
Cannizzaro returned to Palermo in 1847 and served as an artillery officer in the 1848 rebellion. Also in 1848 he was elected to the Sicilian Parliament and served as its youngest member. After the fall of Messina on September 7, 1848 Cannizzaro was sent to Taorminna to organize resistance. When the rebellion collapsed Cannizzaro lived a life on the run eventually escaping to Marseilles, France in 1849. Cannizzaro toured France getting access to laboratories where he could and eventually he settled in Alessandria, Italy where he got a position as a professor of physical chemistry and mechanics at the National University in Alessandria. In 1855 Cannizzaro was called to the Chair of Chemistry at the University of Genoa. In 1861 he took a professorship at the University of Palermo where he remained for ten years. In 1871 Cannizaro was called to the professorship at the University of Rome.
Cannizzaro is most remembered for his work popularizing the ideas of another Italian chemist Amedeo Avagadro. Avagadro had proposed that equal volumes of two gasses at the same temperature and pressure would contain the same number of molecules and that the molecular mass of the molecules would be the sum of the atomic masses of the atoms of which the gasses are composed. Using this principal Cannizzaro developed a method for determining the molecular masses of gasses. At the time chemists were still trying to work out the uses of the words atomic and molecular. Cannizzaro's outline, prepared for his students at the University of Genoa, helped chemists understand that gasses are molecules composed of multiple atoms and have the molecular mass of the sum of the atomic masses of the atoms of which they are composed. For example, oxygen gas, composed of two oxygen atoms each having the atomic mass of 16, has the molecular mass of 32. For his work contributing to the understanding of the concepts of atom and molecule Cannizzaro was awarded the Copley Medal by the Royal Society of London in 1891,
Cannizzaro is also remembered for his work in organic chemistry, where he studied amines and aromatic compounds. Aromatic compounds are compounds that contain a benzene ring. The Cannizzaro reaction is the reaction where an aldehyde is reacted with a base and the reaction produces the alcohol and carboxylic acid that correspond to the aldehyde.
Cannizaro died on May 10, 1910.

Peter Waage
Waage is most remembered for his discovery, with his brother-in-law Otto Guldberg, of the law of mass action. The law of mass action says that the rate of a chemical reaction is proportional to the concentration of the chemical reacting. For the chemical reaction A + B --> AB the rate of the reaction is =k[A][B], where [A] and [B] are the concentrations of the reactants A and B and k is the the rate constant. The rate constant, k, varies depending on what the reaction is. Waage and Guldberg also studied the effects of temperature on chemical reactions. Because their paper was published in Norwegian it was largely unnoticed. The paper was later published in French and German and gained wide acceptance when the results were repeated by William Esson and Vernon Harcourt of Oxford University.
Waage and Guldberg were brother-in-laws twice over. Waage and Guldberg married sisters and after Waage's first wife died he married Guldberg's sister. Waage also discovered ways of preparing unsweetened condensed milk and sterile canned milk. Waage developed a condensed fish meal used as rations by the Norwegian Navy.
Waage died on January 13, 1900.

Hermann Minkowski
After two years of obligatory military service in 1887 Minkowski was appointed privatdozent at the University of Bonn. In 1892 Minkowski became an asOsociate professor at Bonn. In 1894 Minkowski joined the faculty of Zurich Polytechnic, where one of his students was Albert Einstein. In 1902 Minkowski took a chair in mathematics which had been created especially for him at Gottingen University. Minkowski remained in Gottingen util his death.
Minkowski is most remembered for his work on geometry and space-time. In Euclidean geometry there are three dimensions, representing the three dimensions of space. Minkowski incorporated a fourth dimension representing time to the Euclidean system where time and space are interlinked together forming a whole four dimensional system. This four dimensional space is called Minkowski space-time and arises naturally when consequences of relativity are considered.
Minkowski died suddenly of appendicitis on January 12, 1909.

Thomas H. Weller
Enders was working on growing viruses in culture. Viruses, unlike bacteria, are unable to reproduce on their own, so strictly speaking they are not living organisms. Viruses require a host cell in order to reproduce. Each cell has a mechanism by which it reproduces itself. Viruses take over this mechanism and use it to produce more viruses. Viruses grown in the laboratory must be grown in a cell culture. Different viruses infect and use different types of cells to reproduce. Enders and Weller were studying which types of cultured cells could be used to grow different types of viruses. Working with Enders, Weller was the first to be able to grow poliovirus in culture. Poliovirus enters humans via the the cells of the alimentary canal and migrates to other cells. It can infect motor neuron cells causing paralysis. For their development of the ability to cultivate the poliovirus Weller, Enders, and Frederick C. Robbins were awarded the 1954 Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine. With the ability to grow poliovirus in culture Jonas Salk was able to create a vaccine for polio and the disease has virtually been eliminated.
In 1954 Weller was appointed the Richard Pearson Strong Professor of Tropical Public Health, which he remained until 1983. In addition to his work growing polio virus, Weller also isolated and grew varicella virus (the virus that causes chicken pox and shingles). He was also able to grow rubella and cytomeglovirus. Weller was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1964. Weller was made professor emeritus in 1984.
Weller died on August 23, 2008.

Bruno Rossi
Cosmic rays are charged atomic particles that bombard the Earth originating from the supernovas of large stars and in smaller amounts from active galactic centers. The surface of the Earth is protected from these charged particles by the Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field, although some reach the Earth's surface. Life on Earth would not survive were it not for this protection. Initially these particles were believed to be a form of electromagnetic radiation, but in 1927 Jacob Clay measured the amount of rays detected as he voyaged from Netherlands to Java and reported that the amount of rays hitting the Earth's surface changed with latitude with a minimum at the equator. This demonstrated that the "rays" were not photons and must be charged particles that were deflected by the Earth's magnetic field.
In 1932 Rossi became a professor of experimental physics at the University of Padua. In 1938 he was dismissed from his professorship because he was Jewish. After a brief stays at the Bohr Institute in Copenhagen and University of Manchester, Rossi emigrated to the United States where he took a position at Cornell University in 1940. In 1943 Rossie joined the Manhattan Project in Los Alamos, New Mexico where he was co-chair, with Hans Straub, of the "detector group", which was responsible for designing detectors used by the scientists developing the atomic bomb.
In 1946 Rossi took a professorship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at the new Laboratory of Nuclear Science. At MIT Rossi focused on studying newly discovered subatomic particles. Rossi focused on developing detectors that could be launched into space to study cosmic rays that are not affected by the Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field. Rossi retired in 1970, but continued teaching. Awards won by Rossi include the Rumford Prize from the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1976), the Elliot Cresson Medal from the Franklin Institute (1974) and the National Medal of Science (1985). Rossi was also awarded honorary doctorates from the Universities of Palermo, Durham, and Chicago.
Rossi died on November 21, 1993, suffering a cardiac arrest.

Feodor Lynen
Lynen's research dealt with determining the biochemical pathways by which cells produce fatty acids and sterols. Working with Konrad Bloch, he discovered the pathway by which cholesterol is synthesized. Later he determined the structure of acytel-coenzyme A. Acetyl-CoA is an important biochemical intermediate. It feeds two carbon acetic acid fragments from glycolysis (the initial steps by which cells break down glucose) into the citric acid cycle to generate cellular energy. It also is the basis of fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis using the two carbon acetate to build longer carbon chains to store energy or produce bigger carbon molecules. For their work Lynen and Bloch were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine in 1964.
Other awards won by Lynen include the Grand Cross of Merit with Star and Sash of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1965, Norman Medal of the German Society for Fat Research in 1967, the Pour le mérite für Wissenschaften und Künste in 1971, and the Austrian Decoration for Science and Art in 1972.
Lynen died on August 6, 1979.

Martinus Beijernick
With the help of his family, Beijernick entered Delft Polytechnical Academy and although he studied chemistry his main interest remained botany. While there he met J. H. Van Hoft who he remained friendly throughout his career and served as an adviser to Beijernick. Beijernick earned a bachelors in chemical engineering in 1872 and then when to the University of Leiden where he earned his doctorate in 1877. While working on his doctorate Beijernick taught, but he was a poor teacher who berated his students for wrong answers and he did not remain in one teaching position for long. In 1885 Beijernick became a microbiologist at the Netherlands Yeast and Alcohol Manufactory in Delft. In 1895 he established the School of Microbiology at Delft Polytechnical.
Beijernick was unique among microbiologists at the time in that he researched the microorganisms that affected plants rather than those that affect humans. He was the first to discover that viruses were smaller than bacteria when he found that he was unable to filter the tobacco mosaic virus unlike bacteria. He was the first to isolate a sulfate reducing bacteria, the first microorganism that did not use carbon as a source of nutrition. He was also the first to isolate bacteria that complete nitrogen fixation. Nitrogen gas makes up 78% of the atmosphere but because the nitrogen-nitrogen bond is so stable nitrogen gas does not react with other atoms. Nitrogen fixating bacteria reduce nitrogen gas to become ammonia, which can react with other atoms and is used by plants as a nitrogen source. This is an important source of nitrogen, that is used to make amino acids, which are used to synthesize proteins by living organisms.
Beijernick retired in 1921 and died on January 1, 1931.

Great training, latest equipment, good start out pay, great people to work with
Family referrals for employment( husband manager, wife in a different management position as well). Managers and.leads are not coordinated, no chance of advancement Empty promises, customer obsession should be declared as psychological analysis of frustrated individuals. Metric system is totally inaccurate . Long working hours, enforced shift bids, hardly any vacation time can be taken....
Keep on outsourcing and see the results in a few years.Cant have people in India, South Africa and the Philippines taking care of re occurring problems just because you want to go cheap

Classmates among 3 taken into custody in marathon bombings
Two of the men were university classmates of 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who last week was criminally charged with planting homemade pressure-cooker bombs at the marathon finish line on April 15 along with his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Massachusetts said on its official Twitter feed that three men will face charges of obstruction of justice and making false statements.
Papers filed in federal court said authorities charged two men, Azamat Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev, with conspiracy to obstruct justice by throwing away a backpack containing fireworks and a laptop computer belonging to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
U.S. prosecutors also charged a man identified as Robel Phillipos, with making false statements to investigators after the bombings, which killed three people and injured 264 others.
Earlier, a U.S. law enforcement source said that two of the men were being held by immigration officials for violating the terms of their visas.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who attended the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, is being held at a prison hospital where he is recovering from gunshot wound sustained in a gun battle with police. His older brother died in the gunfight.
A Boston Police spokeswoman, Katherine Shea, said on Wednesday that three men were taken into custody but she provided no further details.
Last week law enforcement officials were seen searching dumps in southeastern Massachusetts.
Kadyrbayev's lawyer said his client was being held for violations of his student visa.
The lawyer, Robert Stahl, said his client was "not a target" of the bombing investigation, but declined to comment on any other specifics. He said his client had "cooperated fully" with investigators and "wants to go home to Kazakhstan."
The parents of the Tsarnaev brothers have said in interviews in the North Caucasus region of Russia that they do not believe their sons were responsible for placing the bombs.

"It will have an adverse impact not only on our police officers but more importantly on the people and the neighborhoods they serve, particularly in minority communities," Kelly said in a statement.
The inspector general will have subpoena power to examine the NYPD's operations and policies. The other measure gives people more latitude to sue if they feel police targeted them because of their race, sexual orientation or certain other factors. The lawsuits could seek policy changes but not money.

HOLLAND LANDING, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 03/07/13 -- Inscape (TSX: INQ) today announced financial results for its third quarter ended January 31, 2013.
The third quarter ended with breakeven results on revenue of $19.6 million which was 3.1% lower than revenue in the third quarter of last year. The quarter reflected continued improvement in operational performance. The benefits of which were offset by certain adjustments made in the quarter. On a year-to-date basis improved product mix and operational performance led to gross margin increases to 27.7% from 23.5% last year.
Year-to-date net income was $0.2 million or 1 cent per share, compared to a net loss of $1.3 million or 9 cents per share a year earlier. On a Year-to-date basis gross profit was $1.8 million higher than last year because of a higher gross margin percentage.
"Our focus on an applications approach is beginning to generate results in terms of better gross margins," said Rod Turgeon, President & CEO. "We remain committed to our strategy and to making the investments in distribution and expanded product portfolio necessary for sustained revenue growth."
Year-to-date sales of $58.9 million were 4.1% below the same period of last year. The decrease was the net result of lower furniture sales which were mostly offset by an increase in the movable walls business.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") in the third quarter of fiscal year 2013 were $5.5 million or 28.3% of sales, compared to 25.5% of sales in the same quarter of last year. The increase was largely due to an upward adjustment of $0.28 million in the allowance for doubtful accounts arising from the closing of a distributor.
At the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, the company was debt-free with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totalling $20.2 million.

Male cat has repeated infections; will food change help?by Dr. Susan Baker
Question: I have a 5-year-old male cat who has been hospitalized three times in the last year. The first two times for urinary tract infections, each the vet returned him to me with antibitotics and special UTI wet food. Jasper will not eat this.
The last time, he came home with Valium and again I purchased the special food, because the vet said this is the only thing that will work. I told the doctor I doubted he would eat it and the vet said Jasper ate the food for him. I keep asking him if there is something else I can put in the food he likes, and answer is there is nothing else. I can't keep paying for the expensive hospitalizations and for the food he hates. Any suggestions? — Heidi
Answer: Urinary problems are very common in cats. They are generally caused by crystals that form in the bladder and urethra. In male cats the urethra is small and as the crystals build up and stick together they can form a concretion that completely blocks the flow of urine. This blockage can be life threatening. If a cat is unable to urinate he can die in 24 to 48 hours. If your cat is continually going in and out of his liter box and straining to urinate, it is an emergency and he needs to be rushed to a veterinary hospital.
Treatment consists of passing a catheter into the bladder to relieve the obstruction. Your cat will need fluids to help rehydrate him and flush out his kidneys and the toxins that built up in his system from the backup of urine. Sometimes the bladder has gotten so over-stretched and bruised it is unable to contract to empty properly and the catheter will need to be kept in place for a few days. Once your cat is ready to go home he must be watched very closely for signs of re-blockage.
Even though the bladder was flushed out at the hospital, crystals are still present and he could re-block. In addition, new crystals can begin to form. Crystals or stones can form if conditions are present that allow for growth.
Diet is the most important factor in crystal production. There are several diets that you can try if he doesn't like the one you are using now.Talk to your veterinarian about which one to try next. Here is a list of some of the diets available to help prevent this problem: Hills prescription C/D or S/D; Waltham Urinary S/O; Purina UR st/ox; Iams Urinary S – Low pH or Urinary O – Moderate pH. Most are available in canned and dry varieties. Remember to slowly mix a small amount of the new food in with the old food daily.
One of the main goals is to try to get your cat to drink more water and empty his bladder more often. Feeding canned food can encourage this. However, you can add water to canned or dry food. Placing water bowls in several locations around the house can help, as well as cleaning the water bowl and filling with fresh cold water several times a day. Filtered water can also help. Many cats will only drink from a running faucet and now they have kitty "drinking fountains" that are available at pet stores.Dr. Susan Baker

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Officials are reporting an aftershock from the earthquake that shook a large part of South Carolina and Georgia last week.
The U.S. Geological Survey's website reported a 3.2 magnitude earthquake at 3:23 p.m. Sunday in Edgefield County, just a few miles from the 4.1 magnitude quake on Friday.
Sunday's earthquake was only felt about 35 miles from its center, while Friday's quake was reported more than 150 miles away.
Inspectors checked bridges, nuclear plants and dams in the area, but no major damage was reported after Friday's quake.
Sunday's aftershock was significantly smaller.

HP's ousted CEO Leo Apotheker, who's taken the heat for the company's disastrous Autonomy acquisition, ain't gonna take the fall alone.
He told Bloomberg Friday that Ray Lane, HP's non-executive chairman, a partner at Kleiner Perkins and an ex-Oracle president, shares the blame along with the HP board at the time – but particularly Lane.
"No single CEO is ever able to make a decision on a major acquisition in isolation, particularly at a company as large as HP – and certainly not without the full support of the chairman of the board," Apotheker said in a statement e-mailed to the news service. "The HP board, led by its chairman, met many times to review the acquisition and unanimously supported the deal, as well as the underlying strategic objective to bolster HP's market presence in enterprise data."
Apotheker hasn't said anything since after HP announced an $8.8 billion write-down connected with the $11.1 billion acquisition last month and accused Autonomy's management of cooking the books to get HP to overpay. HP said more than $5 billion of the charge was due to "serious accounting improprieties" at the British software company.
At the same time, Apotheker's replacement Meg Whitman said that the people who had brought the broken company to this pretty pass – Apotheker and former CTO, Shane Robinson, the head of strategy who ran M&A – had been flushed out of HP.
Whitman and all but one person were on the board when the Autonomy acquisition was agreed. She has tried to distance herself and the rest of the board from the fatal decision.
HP's board is generally regarded as the worst around and the company's stock has plummeted a whopping 69% since CEO Mark Hurd was dismissed in August of 2010.
Apotheker also told Bloomberg that HP is still afflicted with the problems he tried to fix by expanding into software, dumping webOS and suggesting that the PC unit would be spun off.
That announcement last year stunned everyone, trashed HP's stock and led to Apotheker's dismissal a few weeks later.
"Looking back on my time at HP, I still believe the strategic vision that we tried to implement was sound," he said. "HP was and still is in need of a transformational strategy," including a push into software and a review of the company's "decades-old" PC business, Apotheker said.
Despite the write-off, Whitman and Lane have stood behind Autonomy's technology, which "pleased" Apotheker.
"Unfortunately, I was never given the opportunity to implement the strategy in its totality," he said. "The new leadership has now been in place longer than my 11-month tenure. But it's clear that HP still is in search of the right path forward."

No. 18 Royals: 13th in a series counting down to spring training. Next: Brewers.
When talent comes in waves, good things happen to teams.
They became interesting in 2011, when Alex Gordon stopped teasing and started hitting and rookies Eric Hosmer, Mike Moustakas, Salvador Perez and Johnny Giavotella established themselves as long-term regulars in Ned Yost's lineup. They hope to become more than Baseball America's team this season, with the results largely dependent on the emergence of young arms in the starting rotation.
General manager Dayton Moore made two offseason moves that should help a starting rotation that had a 4.82 ERA, the second worst in the majors. Left-hander Jonathan Sanchez, acquired from the Giants, has front-of-the-rotation stuff if he can get hitters to chase pitches. Jonathan Broxton, signed as a free agent after an elbow injury cost him his stopper's role with the Dodgers, takes over setup duties for Aaron Crow, whose power arm could play well as a starter.
But for the Royals to become a contender, they need to get a ton of improvement from their likely No. 1 starter, Luke Hochevar, as well as at least two guys from within their system. Lefty Bruce Chen and right-hander Felipe Paulino are likely to be in the rotation at the start of the season, but Moore knows success depends on lefties Chris Duffy and Mike Montgomery helping the rotation build a feeling of confidence like the Gordon/Hosmer-led lineup did a year ago.
Hochevar, who had just turned 21 when he made his big league debut at the end of 2007, has taken serious lumps (5.29 ERA over 585 innings) but made a step forward with 31 starts and almost 200 innings last year. The Royals will have their ace if he can build off the second half. That's when a 3.52 ERA showed he got stronger as the year went on, the way the tough guys do.
Duffy, who had made only 15 starts above Class A, got 20 with the Royals after starting out strong in Triple-A last season. He was a scared 22-year-old kid, and it showed. His work the second time around will be telling, but long term he's seen only as a middle-of-the-rotation guy. Montgomery, who stands 6 feet 5 and throws in the mid-90s, carries greater expectations.
Baseball America rates him as the best prospect in a loaded organization despite a disappointing 2011, when he stalled at Triple-A. That's the distinction they gave to Hosmer a year ago, and Montgomery could give the Royals a similar lift if he arrives with nearly as much impact. His fastball is his best pitch, but he has shown his changeup can be a plus pitch. The development of a consistent curveball has lagged behind, which was partly why he went 5-11 with a 5.32 ERA last year for Omaha.
The group of pitching prospects behind Duffy and Montgomery includes at least two others with chances to make 10-plus big-league starts this season. Right-hander Jake Odorizzi, acquired from the Brewers alongside shortstop Alcides Esobar and center fielder Lorenzo Cain in the Zack Greinke trade, is a power pitcher with a lot of upside. Chris Dwyer, yet another hard-throwing lefty, is like Montgomery in that he needs to smooth out his delivery and pound the strike zone. Lefty John Lamb was ahead of both those guys at the start of 2011 but had Tommy John surgery in June, setting him back at least a year.
The Royals are fun to watch. The development of their starting pitchers will determine if they ever become a team opponents hate to play.
And furthermore
•Thanks to a $250 million renovation, the All-Star Game will be played at Kauffman Stadium on July 10. The event hasn't been in Kansas City since 1973.
•The only two franchises that never have hosted an All-Star Game are Miami and Tampa Bay. The Marlins should get one in the next three-seven years, as they're moving into a highly anticipated stadium this season.
•Manager Ned Yost has a .467 winning percentage with the Royals and Brewers. His best season was 2008, when he got fired. He had Milwaukee 83-67 behind midseason acquisition CC Sabathia when GM Doug Melvin turned the team over to Dale Sveum for the last 12 games. Sveum got the Brewers into the playoffs, but didn't get the job.
•Hosmer, 22 this season, may become the best all-around first baseman in the majors. He probably won't hit quite like Albert Pujols but he's a plus fielder and has good speed for his size (11 stolen bases last year).
•The Royals are turning center field over to Cain after trading Melky Cabrera to the Giants for Sanchez. He has hit .302 in 49 big league games. But something will have to give in the Royals' outfield soon, as converted catcher Wil Myers hit .360 in the Arizona Fall League and projects into the corner outfield spots held by Jeff Francoeur, who is signed through 2013, and Gordon. The DH spot belongs to Billy Butler, who is signed through 2014. Moore may try to move Francoeur to a contender if the Royals falter this season.

Maybe Barcelona isn't the invincible powerhouse they once appeared to be? Pato did his best to knock the Catalans off their perch, scoring just 23 seconds into the match to put AC Milan in front, but Barcelona still has Lionel Messi. The world's best player answered Pato's goal, not by scoring himself, but by tearing apart the Milan defense and leaving Pedro Rodriguez with the easiest of finishes to level the match.
There wasn't anything fancy about Pato's goal. It was simply a matter of Pato deciding that while Barcelona watched, he was going to run faster than anyone else on the field. Starting in the midfield circle, Pato just took off and outran the entire Barcelona team. That left him alone on goal for an easy finish and a 1-0 Milan lead.
Pato's goal was the high point for Milan as Barcelona began to grab a hold of the match not long after going down. They managed to stay ahead for 35 minutes though, but that's when Messi did what Messi does. He gathered the ball at the top of the box, dribbled a little left, then turned towards the goal, brilliantly dancing his way through a couple and out-running another defender before crossing for Pedro. The ball was right on Pedro's foot and a mere two yards from an empty goal for an tap-in to equalize.
Both teams have suffered injury setbacks that have forced substitutions. For Milan, Kevin-Prince Boateng was taken off with no apparent injury, but he was nursing a shoulder injury from the weekend. Andres Iniesta was the man who went off for Barcelona when he pulled up limping, but having to bring Cesc Fabregas isn't something that's going to earn any team a lot of sympathy.
