rodolfor··on Meet Gabe Newell, Microsoft’s next CEO
Correction, he sold not shorted. But it was not declared publicly that he was the seller to put pressure on Gil Amelio. http://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Steve-Jobs-Confirms-A...

If you don't want to sell the question never gets printed in the article and instead there's more of you blabbing about TF2 hats.

He might be an engineer but he was at Microsoft for 13 years and served as producer for the first three releases of Windows.

I was referring to articles on msm like the ones from the WSJ. Anything that goes there is a carefully choreographed dance between the journalist and the PR rep and a lot of questions end up on the cutting floor. Spending time explaining why this and why that is only done for a reason. If they are irrelevant there will be other talking points.

Again as someone said below I made a very specific prediction in a verifiable timeframe. We'll see. I was not trying to be a genius but since I believe Valve will be acquired wanted to make a post about it.

My money is on the poor performance of Windows Store, which could undermine OS sales. Since those are near-sacred at MSFT in my opinion will spur the Valve acquisition. The 'Gabe as CEO' is just a long shot but not the Valve M&A.
