By retiring early, he sorta let Google, this still immature organization, get completely steamrolled by the board. I used to work there and the culture shifted rapidly upon his departure.

I was there and watched it display scenes before during and after DEFCON. One of my extended online friendlies started a goof post on Reddit with a $300 reward. There were so many people who claimed they could hack it or would hack it this
