[/img]We don't blame you if you fail to recognize this good looking
fella. Just a quick recap: this is Mark Papermaster, the ex-IBM chip
designer who stirred up a storm while transitioning to Apple, only to
quietly depart the company 16 months later for reasons that we'll
never truly know. Fear not though, folks, as word has it that the boy
is back in town: Papermaster is now hanging out with Cisco's Silicon
Switching Technology Group as its new vice president. Ironically, our
man here will be responsible for making chips that power Cisco's
switches, so it'll probably be more or less like his good old days
back at IBM. Oh, and without Steve Jobs breathing over his shoulders.
