It makes interesting reading to compare his excited statement upon leaving Microsoft to join Google and his recent statement about being the 'wrong fit' at Google.

I'm trying to track down the relevant quotes for my job-seeking students as it is very instructive. If anyone wants a copy of the two items, please email me.
