Tech insiders selling at high levels; Apple, Facebook, Intel, EA execs sell

"As for Apple, the team notes that much of recent selling was routine, as many employees get a good deal of their compensation via restricted stock vests. However, in referring to a recent sale by Senior VP Phillip Schiller they wrote: "Schiller most likely employed a $500.00 trigger price as his sale occurred at that price and on the first day since his restricted stock vested that the issue achieved that mark. The sale itself is not unusual, but it does mark the first time in two years we've seen an AAPL insider use a trigger price."





Did Gates finally fire Ballmer, or did he just allow it to happen by being unsupportive?

Ballmer Departure From Microsoft Was More Sudden Than Portrayed 
by the Company

As AllThingsD's John Paczkowski wrote on Friday: "Here's one metric by which Ballmer will be judged harshly. On the last day of 1999, the day before he took over as CEO, Microsoft's market capitalization was $600 billion. On the day before he announced his intention to retire, it was less than $270 billion."





20 years as Bill Gates' toady: $16 Billion compensation

13 years to ruin the company as CEO: Priceless.

Clean out your desk Mr. Ballmer, security will escort you to your car.

Maybe this is why Phil Schiller sold his Apple stock?  (just kidding)

Avie Tevanian?  He was the software guy primarily responsible for OS X.  

Avie's been killing time with ex-Apple CFO Fred Anderson and Bono in Elevation Partners.

Scott Forstall is looking for a gig.  

Wait, I know, Steve Wozniak!

Not just the Fashion Mall Microsoft store, but most or all the Microsoft stores are empty. 

It's as though Ballmer built these stores to demonstrate just how unpopular both he and Microsoft were.

Microsoft store is empty as usual...
