I don't think he was happy at google, just like I don't think he was happy at yahoo. I think he should write a book now. It's the natural progression for people who make a single hit startup - they sell it, join some big company, decide that it does not make them happy, give a lot of talks, then fall into some type of mentoring role, then write a book.

You're big on jumping to conclusions on pretty limited data, aren't you?

I love guessing at stuff, because problems are much more fun when you are only given little bits to work with.

In his AMA thread here recently I asked him what he does at google and he was aggravatingly vague, replying: Press buttons, mostly. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1357182

To be fair, I've been using that joke for years.
