Microsoft lawyer heading to NY to meet with Jay/Scott at Kirkland. On call today seemed
very anxious to close things down and open minded about money. I don't think he will go
to 20.
Brad Smith (Microsoft counsel) did get his butt kicked today by the FTC relative to google --
he spent 3 years trying to get the FTC (headed by his friend from law clerk days) to file
against google. Tee hee. Ballmer just taking a pounding in the press.
Hope the Tamiflu worked!

ok.
It was good. They don't like Steve at all (Andreessen on board of HP). HP a train wreck.
They started dinner by asking "which company is the best short bet: HP, Microsoft, Intel,
Cisco" and they agreed that basically all are toast in 24-36 months. They see no upside for
Microsoft given teh phone/mobile situation.
Hoffman and Andreessen say they speak for everyone--basically the big problem with big
companies in tech are the sales people. They are worried about Apple that way now.
They see it as the root of Microsoft. They are tired of CEO founders having succession be
to their lieutenant who is by definition a complementary side show. They are making sure
that in their companies the board doesn't approve of those plans and doesn't allow COO-
>CEO transitions.
They want me on a board. Mark working on Twitter.
They think the east coast is a tech joke :-) (including Harvard). I talked about management
and leadership. It was funny.
They are all troubled by the whole notion of "let's all be nice" that Steve put forth as well
as Tim Cook. That/s why they say there is a lot of pressure to off Andy Rubin. Everyone
knows they only reason he is still there is Larry (true?) I think when I hear the stories of
Andy and guy at Apple it just bums be out because I never did anything like the things they
do. Yikes!
I talked to a portfolio company of al6z (andresseen horowitz) called Lytro. They wanted
me to consider CEO. It is better than I thought. I have a good idea for the CEO (the guy
who did the demos in NY -- he's a harvey mudd engineer and a perfect fit for what they are
looking for). They have a search firm (one person firm) I am going to connect with after
the new year.
At Microsoft, steve is in a bad spot. He hasn't put 2+2 together to realize that the way he
handled me really impacted the reception of Windows 8. He is torturing folks. Doesn't
seem sustainable. Bummer.

They are opening a huge facility. The politics there are crazy. No white person has ever
really made an impact there.
Been thinking about this one. It is not on he no compete list but Steve ballmer knows him and
would really poison things if anyone tried to follow. Ultimately Microsoft sued Samsung
but is also a customer. Gets complicated.
What do you think?
Rumor is google is going to fire Andy Rubin, the phone guy.
