If he's got the skills who cares.After all they hired John Browett who wares nice suits and 'looks the part' and he was total crap.
He's dressed like Nedry from Jurassic Park
Fits right in with a company that used to be ran by a guy in sneakers, blue jeans and a turtleneck.

Now run by people with MBAs and suit and ties
especially for someone of his rank and for Linkedin
some people still believe Linkedin is another facebook
Another poach or did all these companies give that up due to the pending lawsuit.

And horrific BO apparently!
I miss him being around!
I hope his work for Apple is better than what he did at A9.
Amazon's search engine leaves the most to be desired of any major site I regularly visit.
Good lord ... A9 going to Apple?
Amazon can be a huge mess to find what you want, to the point where you google what you want and click on an Amazon link google serves you. You can literally look for a particular brand or even specific model number and be inundated with two dozen competitor's products per page. Then if you want to enable sorting, and you dare to mess with a category, there's no telling what results you get. Sort by lowest price first on a brand & model. Everything and the kitchen sink is thrown in. People have been giving negative feedback on search results from Amazon for years. Each time I think they fixed this or that, a couple weeks later, it is a mess again with something else I'm looking for.
