We also have GM's with their buddies screwing up products, projects without any consequences. Then there are the new kids on the block having no experience running the show just because they are buddies with GMs. <br /><br />If any of our senior management had any iota of vision they would have used the courier development to be our launch pad for the tablet. Now playing catch will be like Windows phone, too late, too irrelevant and no one giving a hoot about it. I am not even going to piss about the $8B R&D without anything to show for. <br /><br />Funny thing is I am the most experienced HW developer (with a number of innovative product launches in other companies) in our org but being marginalized by guys whose idea of product development is getting a Prototype and launching e2e development cycle without any margin for refining design. <br /><br />God bless MS or maybe he is pissed off too :-).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7555958.post-86685807226656715002011-05-17T22:59:20.203-07:002011-05-17T22:59:20.203-07:00More senior ICs are, by definition, supposed to ra...<i>More senior ICs are, by definition, supposed to raise broad issues by dint of their level and years of experience.

Skype worth $8.5 billion? Please!<br /><br />E-Bay paid $3.1B to acquire Skype in 2005, and sold it for $1.9B 4 years later. According to the trade press there were no other serious bidders, and no other offers. Skype had been trying to get $5-6B. And in walks SteveB like some drunken cowboy out for a good time, pockets filled with cash. How on earth could Skype be worth 4x what it was 2 years ago? And it has NEVER made money. Then again investing in money-losing business is Steve's only forte. Remember $6B for aQuantive?
