The tug-of-war to posess the talents of Kai-Fu Lee already receives my vote as the most boring story of the year. I pity any reporter forced to cover it, as Ina Fried capably does here. It seems that the hearings are further attenuating a case already stretched thin by tedious rhetoric. Both sides are arguing beside the main point, which is Lee's contract at Microsoft. Microsoft raised issues of trade secrets while Google discussed Microsoft's outsourcing. All I can say is that Lee must be God's gift to the executive suite.
