So Microsoft, I propose you do this: A dancing Ballmer silhouette.

Ask and you shall receive: http://www.macboy.com/cartoons/ballmer/

You mean something like this?

Too late.

What? No chairs?

Too late.

Also, cue Ballmer's Ipod. I'm sure Microsoft could use some ideas from this as a basis for a marketing campaign.

I think a story title, "Planning the future of Piracy at Microsoft" would be far more interesting. Don't we all want to know how many illegal MP3's Ballmer has on his IPOD.

It just doesn't make sense based on his behavior that shows his devotion to the mighty Ipod.

Not of throwing his chair but if you love to laugh at Balmer check out this.

Yes, that is really Balmer from a developers tradeshow at Redmond.

Here is one with Balmer during the intro.

I admit, its still stretching it a bit. OTOH was this a Ballmer initiated project?

Maybe it does make sense in a Microsoft sorta way..

Maybe they can get Steve the DELL DUDE to advertise it!

There was infact a video recorded to go along with it

P.S. How do you like the iPod I sent?

Yeap, but http://www.macboy.com/cartoons/ballmer/ is far better :D

Will you also have to store receipts from the CD that you bought and ripped into your iPod ? Remember, Ballmer sez that iPod users are all thieves... Or I think it will be a good place to store those Ballmer inspired monkeyboy vid clips. This one is the best of the bunch: bPod

The Register has a link to an iPod advertisement spoof at macboy.com using Steve Balmer's "Monkey Dance" as the black silhouette.

What the heck is wrong with $0.99 per song? You pay more than that for a bottle of soda, for crying out loud! If you want to be able to LEGALLY download music off the 'net, you need to support valid attempts to bring that to you. As more money flows into these companies from Internet distribution methods, the Internet supporters inside music companies will grow in power (potentially overshadowing those who are trying to stop it).

Once those supporters are in power, the reign of RIAA terror may finally end. Or at least reach an equilibrium similar to the one that existed prior to MP3s.

On a different note, best 99 cents, ever!

Microsoft just needs to modify this ad a little. iPod Parody with Ballmer

How The Grinch Stole Sex.com - a very funny flash cartoon with a little background on the story and the legal matter.

Bah. Other players might get distinctive headphone colors, but only the iPod can make its owner turn matte black and dance like a monkeyboy. Apple: the iNdisputable iNnovator of the iNformation age.

Here's a good flash about how steve cone stole sex.com from jail... How the Grinch Stole Sex.com

My biggest PC annoyance is my father.

Apparently you are not the only one.....

or Apple should consider airing Steve Ballmer's iPod commercial (warning: Flash movie). :-D

I had no idea.

Why don't you go listen to your ipod some more and get back to me.

Microsoft's president Steve Ballmer was seen celebrating the news. Ugh...makes you ill just watching it!

It appears Steve Ballmer is getting on the band wagon too.

Check this out...footage of Steve Ballmer enjoying his iPod player.

Maybe he should layoff those Big Macs for awhile.

It's nice to see that the American iPod has united with the German pod. Makes me want to dance!

A rather old cartoon, but it makes scence
Dad vs. AOL

If you haven't seen in then ... Bill -- Owns a software company [Requires Flash 5 or greater].
