» Skype Sale Nears: Why eBay Shareholders Should Be Mad
So back in 2005, eBay paid billions for Skype but didn’t get the crown jewels, aka the technology. I reported this oversight back in 2005. How then-CEO Meg Whitman signed off on the deal, I still can’t understand. I mean, even a lemonade stand owner who can’t tie his shoelaces wouldn’t overlook something as simple as that.
This is a major reason why I am lukewarm at the prospect of Meg Whitman for governor of California. Seems to me that she did a so-so job during her tenure at eBay.
