      Duh. Sex sells. It is kinda interesting that lesbians are more unpopular than furniture, though. Apr 07 11:35 AM
    • Why Is Shutterfly's Jim Clark So Concerned About SarbOx Constraints? [view article]
      That's simplistic. SOX benefits companies that have their act together, hurts companies that are a management mess, and demands a level of control and accountability that some businessmen simply can't stomach. Does it cause pain? Yes. The more mess, the more pain. Feel the burn, baby.

      But I doubt SOX is Jim's problem. He should really be asking why the corporate leaders wouldn't find a way to make him happy within the bounds of SOX. They would, if they wanted him. Happens all the time. But maybe Jim was obsolete. His dot-com skillset and vision weren't in line with Shutterfly's current direction, so maybe the board didn't want him in a leadership position where he would be -- how did Michael put it? -- too expensive and unwieldy.

      But that's just corporate politics masquerading as a regulatory scapegoat -- no need to make a Congressional issue out of it.
