If he wants to bail on Google why only sell .07% of his stock thats not bailing if he still has 2.1% probly wants to invest in a company that Google will eventually buy.

Actually, he's selling 25% of his stock in google. It's only .8% of the entirety of Google shares on the Market, but it's a quarter of what he owns.

if he was losing faith it would be 50-75% of his stock. He probably just wants some play money.. umm. a lot of play money. lol.
Maybe he is starting a private patent trolling firm and giving it enough start up capital to get some good patent portfolios to use against apple/MS. People forget that apple/MS just won a big chunk of patents in their subsidiary partnership.

He isn't going anywhere. He's probably going to invest his own money into another up coming product or has another product and wants to launch it with his own money. What's wrong with him inventing a new product with his own money, why get a whole company involved when he can start from a new beginning.

He's not stupid, look at his face, read his mind. Hmm..... I better invest some serious money with Apple.
