Mark Zuckerberg: If I knew who leaked it to you, I would’ve fired them already. [... snip ] Michael Arrington: You said Erick’s working on something else, what’s that? Mark Zuckerberg: Um, oh he’s working on a bunch of stuff. Michael Arrington: What’s the top secret mobile thing he’s working on though? Mark Zuckerberg: I actually think that what he’s working on, is like I don’t think that any of the stuff is that top secret. Michael Arrington: So there’s a theory in talking to my sources that there are… Mark Zuckerberg: That there are levels of top secretness [laughs]? I mean, we have a pretty open culture. Eh?

The interview makes a bit more sense just a tiny bit further down: Mark Zuckerberg: The way that the mobile stuff is structured — Erick is really the lead PM for mobile stuff in general. I’m sure there’s specific things in there that aren’t announced yet. But he’s not running a secret project. That’s… I think that’s more like the type of stuff that Joe is working on or that Matt would typically work on. Michael Arrington: The secret stuff goes through him? Mark Zuckerberg: Not in general… I don’t think the secret stuff is that secret (Elliot Schrage: There’s some cool things, even if they’re not secret). There’s some stuff that hasn’t been announced, but there’s nothing like a fundamental departure from the strategy that I am laying out.
