Seriously though, how many are surprised to hear that Motorola's Chief Technology / Strategy Officer Richard Nottenburg is jumping off the sinking ship? Apparently dude "left to return to the New York area to be with his family and pursue other opportunities," which is code for a) he was passed over for CEO of the new mobile devices company, b) he was fired, or c) he finally wised up to the direction the company's taken. Either way, we can't really blame him.
oh wow who cares
Those involved.
i bet he doesn't use a razr/rizr/slvr/shitzor.

Maybe as former Chief TECHNOLOGY officer we can blame him just a little for the turn Motorola has taken seeing as how they are a technology company and all, and it is their technology that has not progressed in about 4 years...
Maybe this guy's departure is a sign that the rest of Moto has started to wise up to reality and they are casting off dead weight to keep the ship afloat.
The CTO you need to blame is Padmasree Warrior, one of the most useless, incompetent people on the planet, and a major league sycophant. This guy Nottenburg was just one of the deck-chair shufflers on the sinking ship.
I like my Motorola Q9C i've been impressed by the apps WM6 allows me to run from Orb media streaming to Opera Mini 4. I can even download videos straight from youtube.com to my phone. I also have the ability to put up to a 32 GB miniSDHC card into the phone(currently using a 4GB(only paid $16 for)). It might not be the greatest phone but it would outshine my brothers iPhone if his wasn't jailbroken.
Hey Ryan, when you become the CEO of Motorola, that is just one more position you are going to have to fill. Please keep me in mind. Thanks.
dolemite nice carmageddon icon :)
Hehe, thanks!
It's what I look like on the inside.
Probably what you look like on the outside, too. Not that it's a bad thing. Chicks go for evil guys with long snake tongues.
He kinda looks like the guy who stole Pee-Wee Herman's bike.
Ryan Block: You don't blame him for being fired? Um, okay...
Yep. Does working at Motorola seem like particularly stable gig to you?
Richard Nottenburg gone. Well, there goes Motorola's eye candy.
