<![CDATA[Seagate has a rough quarter]]>I was reading up on news from this week and saw that my sponsor, Seagate, had a pretty rough quarter (profit was down 22%). They are in the middle of a hard drive price war.

Thomas Hawk, in a post about the importance of backing your stuff up, notes that you can get a 750GB drive now for about $230 at Amazon. Don’t miss Thomas’ post, or the comments about how people are backing their stuff up now.

After Seagate reported its earnings John Furrier sat down with Seagate’s CEO, Bill Watkins, where he went into detail about the bad quarter they had.

That’s a great way to take bad news on: do it on video and take it head on.
