redherring.com That's a news story I love! It's about a guy who was on Larry Ellison's senior exec team who wanted to start a new business. Not only did he figure out a way to leave Oracle without burning any bridges, he managed to sign up Oracle in the first round of funding for his new start-up. It turns out that his new company's name is Salesforce.com. My guess is that his strateggy was to he walk into Larry Ellison's office one day and say, "How'd ya like to screw Tom Siebel?" --Mike Buckley
