You have the tier-1 talents like Mark Zukerberg, Larry Paige, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, who has the vision to revolutionize the world, and the ability to lead and motivate thousands of people. Then you have ppl like Tim Cook who is an operations genius, able to lead a massive company like Apple as if it's a lean mean fighting machine.

Then you have this moron SM, who talks about how he lost at the Science Fair, choose EE by accident, and states the obvious that if you lose during tech transition, your company flops. And you wonder why attrition at Q is high

@ zmr: I take it you represent one of QCOM's fine "middle managers." Perhaps you would have been more comfortable if I had used "project manager," instead?

That's an admission I would expect from someone who was destined for nothing greater than middle management--unless, of course, he kissed someone's @$$.
