We’re buying a beer for… Jon Rubenstein

As Palm’s new CEO, you’ll earn up to $1.7 million per year. That’s a lot, but considering you saved the company by developing the Pre — seriously, check out the stock price — you’re certainly worth it. (But dude, you have got to do something about the ridiculous profiles on Palm’s Web site.)
As a former Apple employee, it must be fun to stick it to Steve Jobs and his crew of white-clad, aesthetically pleasing nerds. It remains to be seen whether your company can defeat the great giant of good gadgets (although, honestly, you don’t really have to for Palm to succeed), but you’re on the right track so far. You’re being richly rewarded for it, but one more incentive won’t hurt. The next round’s on us.
