Here’s a curious one — merely months after HP essentially revitalized the Voodoo brand and cranked out the undeniably sexy Envy 133 laptop / Omen desktop, in flies word that the branch may be broken in the foreseeable future. In response to rumors that the Voodoo PC division would be canned entirely, Rahul Sood (yeah, the same guy that pimped an undisclosed new gizmo barely a week ago) stated that “HP is working on a plan to better leverage its existing resources to bring Voodoo products to market faster and make them more accessible to consumers.” An HP spokeswoman was also quoted as saying that “[it] continually assesses and re-balances the size of its work force relative to the business environment and market conditions.” In other words, no one is denying nor confirming the whispers, and while we have our own suspicions about what that means, we’ll let you make of it what you wish.
