3:15 PM -- Kevin Mitchell, formerly of top-notch analyst firm Infonetics, has left the building. Rumor has it he will shortly be taking up residence as a thingumajig or somethingorother at Acme Packet.

Yes, ACME PACKET.

We'll give you a moment to recover from the shock, hilarious guffaws of laughter, and whatnot.

Acme Packet's receptionist didn't know whether Kevin is really working there or not, and no one was picking up in marketing when Red Panda called today. But if true, it certainly prompts the question:

Kev, mate, what are you thinking?
