Schimdt to work for eBay!

So, Howard Schimdt leaves Microsoft to basically build the security infrastructure for the Department of Homeland Security. Shortly after he realizes the politics may prevent him from doing any real work, and he resigns. That was like to weeks ago.

Today I found out why. He's going to be the VP of Security at eBay. I am guessing eBay has a bit to much fraud (didn't some Ufies try selling someone online a few times??), and believe Howard can change corporate policy and fix that. Guess we will have to see.

Don't blame him though. I am pretty sure he got a pay raise.. and may even get a Segway!
