I thought the HP spying story was bad before, but CNet's latest report makes it even worse: apparently, the people Dunn hired tried to plant spyware on CNet's reporter's computers:

Those briefed on the company's review of the operation say detectives tried to plant software on at least one journalist's computer that would enable messages to be traced, and also followed directors and possibly a journalist in an attempt to identify a leaker on the board.

It's not enough that Dunn stepped down from Chairman, but stayed on the board. There ought to be real consequences for that.
