George Shaheen Takes His Webvan Magic To
Siebel 04/13/2005 02:55 PM
Siebel, which was quite the enterprise software powerhouse in the 90s, never really figured out how to jump into the internet world -- which, these days, is quite a problem. Last year, founder Tom Siebel finally stepp ed down as CEO in favor of Mike Lawrie, a long-time IBM vet who claimed he could turn Siebel around, just like IBM was turned around. It appears the only person who got turned around, though, was Lawrie, who has left the company in less than a year. So, who did they find to turn around the company by finally recognizing how the internet impacts their business? None other than the man who drove Webvan straight into the ground, George Shaheen. Shaheen, you may recall, jumped from his longterm post at Andersen Consulting/Accenture to the easy millions that were supposed to come to him, via Webvan's slam dunk IPO, which happened shortly after he joined the company. Instead, of course, anyone who could do a little math realized the impossi ble nature of Webvan's prospects, and the company went into a quick (but spectacular!) tailspin, leading to the company completely disappearing in less than two years. While the share holders all got nothing out of it (no problem there -- they should have known better), Shaheen still made out okay, getting one of the most ridiculous severance packages around and a "free" $6.5 million. Want to bet he's got a similarly sweet severance deal in place at Siebel? Why is it that companies keep giving execu tives so many incen tives to fail< /a>? Execs should be rewarded for successful jobs -- but to constantly reward them (lavishly!) for repeated failures is a scam -- and shareholders shouldn't stand for it.

Google Buzz Index: Next Gen Portable
Game Systems, Possible Xbox 2 Names

Google Buzz Index: Next Gen Portable
Game Systems, Possible Xbox 2 Names 06/15/2004 06:14 PM

More loose science Google mining today, starting with a sampling of the five major next generation portable gaming systems. I'm a little surprised -- the Nintendo DS comes out on top, even over the Sony PSP. My guess is science is failing us here, as another query for "playstation portable" pulls up another 666,000 hits (oooweeoooh), which added to the to the "sony psp" results brings us up to 1,425,000, or about 200k over Nintendo. My guess is it's somewhere in between those numbers and it's fair to say the Nintendo DS and the PSP are, buzz-wise, in a dead heat. The Nokia N-Gage QD makes a sizeable showing, which is pretty respectable until you run just "n-gage," which nets a response of over 4 million. Since we're trying to compare next generation unreleased and just-released hardware, though, I left those results out. The Gizm(welovepigs)ondo is just a blip on the radar, in part because of the recent name change, and in part because it is doomed to failure. The Tapwave Zodiac does fare any better, which is a bit disappointing. Time to rally the troops, Tapwave.

The next Google Buzz Index, where we see which of the possible names for the second iteration of Microsoft's Xbox have the highest buzz, is after the jump.
