Woah...
Dude...Steve may have thrown a tantrum (and he certainly isn't on my outstanding people awards list), but this issue is about Lee and Google.

Aside from a questionable NDA, Lee not only was obviously working for Google months before he resigned at Microsoft, but straw-manned internal Microsfot documents (which he conveniently removed the "for internal use only" on the pages. Just the fact alone that he removed references to the other contributors shows the guy has no morals.

On the other side, we've go Google who is amazingly enough paying this guy an UNHEARD of $2.5 million signing bonus and $10 million to work for them to, of course, NOT work in any capacity in which he is skilled to work in? That makes no sense whatsoever.

The baffling fact is that Google is still trying to emply this guy when any sensible company would recognize Lee is adishonest snake-oil saleman and just let him go...not to mention all the legal troubles and more millions Lee's employment is going to cost them. This to me proves that Google is up to no good here and has received access to confidential plans and internal Microsoft documents...and they seem to have done it with full knowledge.

I hope Lee gets fired from Google and gets his a$$ sued. I hope Google comes clean about the information they received. Lee has caused a huge mess between major companies and I hopw Google investors rally enough to get him out of there before he does the exact same thing to Google.

I also completely question his speech recognition research and fully expect he conveniently removed other contributors of that work to gain the glory for himself.
