Palo Alto, Calif. - Looking to capture a larger slice of the gaming market, Hewlett
Packard, the Palo Alto, Calif.-based technology giant currently embroiled in a boardroom spying scandal, said that it has signed a deal to acquire Calgary-based VoodooPC, a maker of high-performance gaming computer systems. Financial terms of the deal, expected to close in November, were not disclosed. HP said that it plans to form a separate business unit within its Personal Systems Group focused on the gaming industry, with VoodooPC co-owners Rahul Sood and Ravi Sood becoming the unit's chief technologist and director of strategy, respectively.
