I remember they were once Lucky Goldstar.

Lucky derives from Lak-Hui Chemical Industrial Corp, which GoldStar merged with in 1995, becoming Lucky-GoldStar for a time. They acquired Zenith Electronics that same year. I remember seeing some paperwork when I worked in the Santa Clara office that had Zenith on it for some reason, and happened to drive past the office on a visit to Illinois last year.
The webOS group started out as Palm, and they did a webOS phone, arguably 'the first smart phone' (one of the people I worked with had one still working), and Apple poached a couple of people to work on the first iPhone. HP bought them, there was a webOS tablet, which HP killed and then sold the group to LG. We worked on the webOS TVs.
I did not work there for very long, but it was pretty fun until they laid off more than half of us in favor of doing things in India and Seoul. Got to travel to SK in the middle of winter. Nook office was a couple of blocks away.
