I can think of a few other things to do with a hammer.

Is the deal 'hammered out' yet? Do I work for Broadcom?
Intel is different, they did not have a hammer. Hock was smart, he took a gamble with him
Intel's CEO went to China to ask them to approve their Tower merger, but it didn't work
That because Intel didn’t bring any flowers.
If I had a hammer, I'd hammer out deals with China in the morning
I'd hammer out deals with China in the evening
Intel's CEO went to China to ask them to approve their Tower merger, but it didn't work. I'm sure that Hock's meeting with China official won't help.
This is material and represents another deception, if true
This happened on oct 26th (last thursday). Hock Tan had to fly to DC, so he couldn't attend the VMware's company wide all hands meeting.
Nope. Hock was in an all-day sales review with the sales teams. He was in DC for that, but it wasn't for China. That was also already scheduled, so it wasn't the "unforeseen scheduling conflict" about the all-hands. I was there.
Hock is the nail
This happened on oct 26th (last thursday). Hock Tan had to fly to DC, so he couldn't attend the VMware's company wide all hands meeting. Apparently this was the scheduling conflict due to which the all hands meeting got cancelled at the last moment. There is some truth to this news. But no mention whether Ministry of foreign affairs actually given approval. Also, verbal approval may change any time.
Leave it to the pivots, they can do anything
Hock away, I mean hack away.
