regarding scott cook -- they say the overlap and accusation is because scott cook was ceo of intuit there terms of hiring. regarding hiring -- what's interesting here is that john donahoe, the ceo of ebay, he was on the show a week ago, he had a conciliatory relationship with carl icahn. it seems like this deteriorated. carl icahn was very aggressive in his letter and ebay was aggressive in the response. say- mudslinging attacks and it looks like they are firing back in their dissent. i what did carl icahn describe donahoe? >> he questioned whether he was asleep at the switch. he was asking why you would have board members that have these perceived conflicts. it's an interesting drama unfolding. i will talk to carl icahn at 3:00 so we will have lots of questions for him. >> thank you so much. tune into that interview on "street smart" at 3:00. isle tv rival roku considering an ipo this year. its devices connectivity to the internet and are giving the cable guys a run for their money. many people are trying to break this cable-tv model. jon erlichman broke that story and joins us from l.a.

he was referring to scott cook. and markit in for him andreessen.e called them out in a letter to the ebay board saying they are not working in the companies test interest. >> i have never seen one as blatant as this. we have seen a lot of them. weren't sad it would be funny. it's all about corporate governance in this company. it is sort of dysfunctional. mark andreessen on the board of and scott cook are two of the most respected and accomplished and value driven leaders in silicon valley. i agree. i think they are respected and the compass and agree mostly their value as leaders. the trouble is, value driven leaders for themselves but not for ebay or the shareholders. notcahn two complementary about ceo tom donahoe. was going to be sold by donahoe. he is eithernaive or asleep at the switch. i will say this now -- if i had been on the board, mark andreessen would not have boughtskype. >> mr. donahoe spoke with us last week in an interview and here's what he had to say. we are not working at odds with them. the board and i have been looking at thes

[bleep] >> he is worked up about it and will be campaigning trying to make some change. he was successful at dell. he squeezed a little more money out of michael dell. >> he got a decent amount of buyback activity out of apple and is pushing to see paypal be spun off. >> an interesting record. you have herbal life, you have to add that to his record. maybe ebay is the next one. but we shall see. andce lunch between you world. much appreciated. carl icahn is just one story being featured on buzz feed. this is a news and entertainment site that seems to have mastered actually getting you to click on the stories. some headlines today include the unnecessarily censored version of finding nemo. which beagle are you? which european country do you actually belon

he is getting at this conflict specifically with mark and scott cook, two members of the board.ade,es investments they including with skype and said, look, they took this from ebay and wound up selling it to microsoft and made a lot of money for himself. in karl's view is very much an issue given that mark is on ebay's board. i have been through a lot of these over the list 30-40 years and i have sent in a letter and a mean it. i've never seen one as blatant as this. but,ve seen a lot of them, it is almost -- if it weren't sad, it would be funny. >> he is seen a lot in his days, but he finds this one to be of a particular issue. they have an annual shareholder meeting coming up in april. shareholders will be able to vote for the four board members that are up for renewal. is to changeffort at least two members of the board. -- he has twoates candidates that he is proposing. he said nobody wants to work for john donahoe. as a result, they cannot get the talents that they need at a place like a pal and ebay. -- paypal and ebay. it needs to be spun off from ebay. that is the real f

attack on governance at ebay taking in two of the bigger teams in technology, mark andre so and scott cook, both of whom are independent directors on the board of ebay. there's share a couple of things from the letter itself as you take a look at both of the gentlemen we're talking about. he really goes after him on the skype transaction and another transaction involving gsi commerce. these are my words. sort of alleging that he's acting more on his own behalf than as ap fiduciary for shareholders. that's quite an attack on a well regarded guy in the valley, also an hp board member, of course. he also talks about cook and what essentially is a lot of allegations. there was a doj lawsuit against ebay on an agreement not to hire intu it employees. but again, icahn goes into that saying that it doesn't seem possible in this board to engage in long term discussions when two board members are competing with board members. one board member is routinely funding competitors while buying companies from ebay. and at least two board members appear to have put their own gain and conflict of fa dush ra

and most of it is focused on andresen and scott cook, and he has in the offices some very beautiful pictures, if you call them that of battles from years ago. and he is a historian. and he likes to watch other guys fight other guys. >> and if you put him and andreesen on the front page of business there, and of course, carl icahn. >> and you can see him accepting andreesen going to the journal. >> well, not as satisfying with having a conversation with him, and talking through the idea of what is the benefit of you being on seven boards and three of which are big companies like facebook, hp, and so you have recused yourself, but it is worth it to have a director who has to recuse himself every time there is a board business? how are you helping yourself? and what is the benefit to you? it is not about money to him, and you clearly want to be on the board and you are learning, and what are you learning and helping you to do? well, certainly helping you with the core business which is investing in companies. >> and maybe andreesen is v valueless or conflicted. >> i would want a further convers

and he also goes on to say that the claims about scott cook are also unfounded.founder of intuit, he says scott has an exceptional track record of creating value and has enormous assets and the overlap between intuit and ebay is very small between both companies. regarding hiring, any restrictions ended years ago. >> i am trying to think are there situations where a guy is brilliant on the board where you overlook some of this stuff? is it possible? is it possible that you want andreessen on your board and that carl icahn addresses your public comment to have him come on, could you overlook this? or you can never do it? >> if you were advising carl would you argue to attack andreessen, skype and that whole block undermines your broader argument about what belongs with what? >> actually, yes. i'm loathe to consider to even criticize carl, but i have been spending a lot of time trying to figure out the value of paypal and the breakout. >> and? >> i think it's a great intellectual exercise we've seen over and over again when you get the management away from the ebay

in a totalitarian state there are people shareholders that can answer back now icons as director scott cook shouldn't be on the board of the seventy five billion dollar company because cook is also founder and chairman of into it into it has a relationship with payment processing startup square which is directly competes with pay pal now i can also criticize venture capitalist mark and reason for profiting off discarded e bay assets including the online voice company skype. now on thursday evening a brought out the big big guns founder and chairman pierre omidyar who famously became a billionaire at age thirty one when it went public back in one nine hundred ninety eight here rejected icons request to split off pay pal and said he stands by andres and cook and i mean he would say that and reason and cook and pierre they're all icons of silicon valley they're greatly respected and admired and they probably truly believe that they haven't done anything off anything unethical or anything wrong but this sort of really dealing is common in the tech world and when the technology industry was stil
