That would be in character. I have first hand knowledge of how Google can get his attention. Just as the financial derivatives market can be volatile and unpredictable, so too can Steve when it comes to Google. Hey Dan, I can totally see the chair tossing and the emotional tirade.

At least that's what I see, not being an engineer. It is interesting to note that the name, Suchter, could be a derivative of the German word, "Suche", which means "search". Another German word, "Sucht" means "addiction"...not sure if there is any correlation there... :-) I think the battle is really on the public mind-share level, not on the engineering level.
