I found it at the following link.

http://www.hp.com/ghp/features/feedback.html

This was under "welcome to the new hp.com" "Feature Story Feedback".

What I found more distracting than no capitalization, was the inconsistent
capitalization. Just in the two headings above, one has none, the other is
every word. I found sentences that ended in capitalization rather than
starting with it. Smart text when my mouse hovers over buttons on the main
page was capitalized, but the text on the button was not.

There is no excuse for this when spell and grammar checkers are built into
just about every application today.

Is it just me, or is HP trying to tell us something?  On the information
page regarding the new format, they politely tell us that they would
appreciate feedback... but they don't provide a link to allow us a chance to
give any feedback.  After a couple of minutes of poking around, I found a
page where you could "contact HP".  However, you are not provided a choice
anywhere on that page to submit comments regarding the web.  You can ask
questions of HP - provided that you are either asking a question about a
product or you question fits nicely into one of their preselected response
categories (none of which have anything to do with HP's web site).

How are we supposed to provide feedback?  I supposed I could always simply
write a message directly to Carly...
