Autonomy Corporation is a multinational enterprise software company founded in Cambridge, United Kingdom in 1996, which became a subsidiary of Hewlett-Packard in October 2011. The company has joint headquarters in Cambridge and San Francisco, USA.
The company uses a combination of technologies born out of research at the University of Cambridge. It develops a variety of enterprise search and knowledge management applications using adaptive pattern recognition techniques centered on Bayesian inference in conjunction with traditional methods.
Autonomy was founded in Cambridge, England by Dr Michael Lynch and Richard Gaunt in 1996 as a spin-off from Cambridge Neurodynamics.
Autonomy floated in 1998 on the EASDAQ exchange at a share price of approximately £0.30. At the height of the "dot com bubble", the peak share price was £30.
In December 2005 Autonomy acquired Verity, Inc., one of its main competitors, for approximately US$500m. In 2005 Autonomy also acquired Neurodynamics.
In May 2007, after exercising an option to buy a stake in technology start up Blinkx Inc, and combining it with its consumer division, Autonomy floated Blinkx on a valuation of $250m.

papier macheague; or crazy glue
we stick together me and you
and while the world falls apart
you've got my soul I've got your heart
we're held up on delayed metros
there's no more drug or cheminaud
we're waiting for your demands
we smoke far too many gitanes
I'm not the man you used to know
and that's not impossible
and while the word falls apart
Observe our dynamics
This is our time
All needs met
Destinations reached
Desires sated
Religions preached
Autonomy
Observe our dynamics
Our transit has peaked
All questions asked
Wars fought
Conclusions reached
Lessons taught
Autonomy
Observe our dynamics
This is our time
All hands shaken
All debts paid
All thirst quenched
We've got it made
Autonomy
Observe our dynamics
Our transit has peaked
We won't relent
We're unsurpassed
We are the wonder
Better, enhanced
Generate - intelligence
Regenerate - confidence

Blinded, but I don't mind it,
And I'm gonna put you in my heart, where you can't find it,
Rejected but I'm respected,
I'm gonna hide it in a place, where you won't expect it,
Sucked in, I won't be fucked in,
In the way that you think when your luck's in,
Head fuck, but I've had enough,
C'mon, you want it all, but now it's tough
What does it mean when you say?
Freak out
What does it mean when you say?

Seek out
What does it mean?
Short scope, but you got no hope,
Gonna rinse it all away without the blood soap,
Red eyes, never say die,
No I'm never gonna stop until you fly,
Type cask and then you dry flask,
You wanna sip away the life before you die fast,
Ill health but you're beyond help,
No you're never gonna stop 'till you kill yourself
What does it mean when you say?
Freak out

Eyes glazed.
Cast away from reality.
No regards for the limits of speed.
Encompassing soliloquy.
Selfish is the center of thought.
Autonomy.
Can you thrive in your mind?
This journey of these fallen souls consumes us all.
This journey of these fallen souls consumes us.
Consumes us all.
I see pride in your eyes.
You see a way of life.
Your life consumes.
Eyes glazed.
Cast away from reality.
No regards for the limits of speed.
Encompassing soliloquy.
Selfish is the center of thought.
You can always tell cause you know me well
With my pupils wide I'm under casted spell
I paint a picture for miles
And hang it on the wall
So if my memory fades I can still recall
Oh a sharp turn can change everything
Energy flows in every direction
And some days I wish I had some white out
And if did theres never enough time
Energy flows in every direction
And some day I hope to figure it out
To busy looking froward to begin in the now
I try to slow down and pace
But i don't know how
Sitting idle for hours has turned into days
Consumed by my thoughts of you
In another place
Someday I'd like to play a part in my life
I've waited to start
I bet I could live it well
If I take deep breaths and exhale
So little time what am I do to
I want my cake and I want to taste it too
Is that really so much to ask for
You got your head up into the clouds
You want to live in glorious autonomy
You push,
Don't think about the opposite,
You laugh,
Don't think about stuff beyond it,
You take,
Don't think about the opposite,
You live,
Too late to think of opposite
Take down, that's what I'm coming to do, (Pull)
And when I've done that, then I'm coming for you, (Cry)
To show what I mean, with my eye that is green, (Give)
To show I'll fuck you up 'cause I know what I mean (Die)

You're scared running frozen,
'Cause my objective is you, yes you
You have been chosen by me,
To get your shit blown up now you're runninh away,
