  "Content with cash, and more eager to spend it on homes and on a more balanced life-style, they may not want to keep driving the company as aggressively." So I don't understand this thinking. You've built all this value (and a kick-ass team I would presume) and you're not allowed to take a few weeks off to go house-hunting or take a vacation? The only good CEO is an underpaid CEO? Jeez.

  Is there something more to Dropbox?? 300M round of investment and an astronomical "fairytale" potential valuation of 10B, OMG AYFKM? For a company that provides online sync/storage of files?? That said, good for them, how many times do founders get the short end of the stick?

    $10B for FancyFTP (as we call it in the office)? We find this as unsurprising as the activities of stock markets, banks, hyping writers and people. And Groupon. And companies. And politicians. When's the right time to bring my degraded-buckyball communication unit to market?
