Really classy guy you've dug up, there. He seems to have a hatred for all things Trump. Wonder if he knows George Will.

Maybe the Bushes. I want to know why Trump dislikes them so much. Or maybe I don’t!

Interesting disclosure. But the media is trowing all their bombs out now. It would be smarter to hold them until later. They must really be desperate.

Alan Marks, eBay Inc’s senior vice president for communications, strenuosly denied Marcus was fired.

“The story is flat out wrong,” Marks said.

When Marcus, a motivated and highly intelligent coder by trade, announced he was leaving the CEO job for a VP position at Facebook, there were more than a few raised eyebrows because the change was perceived not as a big move up but a slight move down.

In his roughly three years as PayPal’s president, Marcus ruffled more than a few feathers when he sent a heated and caustic email to all of PayPal’s 14,000 employees.

In that email, Marcus slammed employees for not using PayPal’s mobile app he helped introduce and said that if workers weren’t passionate about the company’s mission they should find another job. Silicon Valley had a field day when the email was revealed.

The email, in part, read:

It’s been brought to my attention that when testing paying with mobile at Cafe 17 last week, some of you refused to install the PayPal app (!!?!?!!), and others didn’t even remember their PayPal password. That’s unacceptable to me, and the rest of my team, everyone at PayPal should use our products where available. That’s the only way we can make them better, and better.

Reactions in the Valley to the email ranged from supportive to outright dismissive.
