Why is he in the dog house?
- Zigurd 13y agoPresumably: He bought Motorola. Meh patents, troubled OEM competitive with key Google partners. An expensive mistake even for Google.
- fidotron 13y agoNo, it's all Google internal politics. In my experience big SV companies have classes of staff on payroll merely to prevent them working somewhere else where they would represent a bigger threat to the core business. Google seems to have more than normal of this type of character.

- Zigurd 13y agoRubin is brilliant, and was absolutely the right guy to kick the carriers' asses and conquer the handset OEM world. I suppose that's all the more reason to keep him "inside the tent." I just think of it as horses for courses.
