And PointCast?

By Kevin McMurtrie Posted Wednesday 9th April 2008 17:14 GMT

Is this Dave "Doormat", the momentary CEO of PointCast? The guy who helped drive the company into the ground with long-term indecision and a complete lack of direction, followed by a futile sales pitch to his buddies at SBC? The guy who told investors he was turning the company around, quit, then admitted in an interview that he expected the company to fail from the moment he arrived? Poor Motorola. This like is like patching a sinking ship by filling the hull with concrete.
