PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless Motorola split into two groups today in order to save their falling mobile business, but the real kicker is an insider's email that Engadget published. It has it all, from suicides to golf scores and how all that brought a giant down. Good afternoon reading, albeit sad. Update: My personal rant/editorial on the situation, describing the failure of Motorola to understand the importance of their EZX Linux-based phones and how this drove their business down.

The folks on eTrade are not the problem. They are puny in comparison to many hedge funds. If anything point the finger at the hedge funds. But why point? This is called the stock market.

When you see forums driving stocks down you see that because that is what you want to see. For whatever direction the stock is going there are an appropriate number of fan folks saying this stock is worth X in a week.

A CEO can take two views with the market. Do whatever it wants and get punished, or grow the business. Those that grow the business do get rewarded.
