It's Hard To Invent A New Thing,

Since I'm Not A Seller Of The Stock, I Don't Really Care What It Is Today.

The Company [microsoft] Really Has To Chart A Direction In Mobile Devices. Because If You're Going To Be Mobile-first, Cloud-first You Really Do Need To Have A Sense Of What You're Doing In Mobile Devices. I Had Put The Company On A Path. The Board As I Was Leaving Took The Company On A Path By Buying Nokia, They Kind Of Went Ahead With That After I Told Them I Was Going To Go. The Company, Between Me And The Board, Had Taken That Sort Of View. Satya, He's Certainly Changed That. He Needs To Have A Clear Path Forward. But I'm Sure He'll Get There.

We're Very Focused In On Outcomes For Government With Respect To The Amount Of Tax That Goes In And The Amount Of Expenditures That Go Out.

It's The Luxury Of Time That Lets Me In Some Ways Now Spoil Myself. I Get My Workout In Every Day. I Get A Good, Long Sleep Every Day. I Won't Say They're Guilty Pleasures. When I First Left Microsoft, I Would Say I Spent The Better Part Of A Year Saying, "ok, How Do I Get As Busy And Crazy And Manic As I Was At Microsoft?" Since Then I Said, "no, I'll Make A Bigger Contribution In This Phase Of My Life By Being Able To Pick And Choose, Not Being So Manic, Having Time To Step Back, A Little More Time For What I'll Call Discernment Rather Than Just Activity."

The Company I Invested In Is Probably A Leader In That Area. They're A Company Called Second Spectrum, Which Happens To Be Based In La But Was Started By Two Usc Computer-science Professors. It's Filled With Guys Who Love Sports, Who Played Sports, But Really Look Like Programmers.
