Ballmer - Trusting Vista and Battling Google
Carnivore24 wrote to mention a C|Net article discussing Steve Ballmer's morning keynote at Gartner's Symposium/ITxpo. From the article: "'I have never, honestly, thrown a chair in my life,' Microsoft's CEO said ... Ballmer also touched on a variety of areas related to Microsoft's competition with Google. The software maker will compete 'the good old-fashioned way, with innovation,' he said. 'There are many things--who knows?--Google may or may not do. If you read the papers today, other than curing cancer, Google will do everything.'"
he meant Microsoft, then more power to Google!
Sorry, Steve. I have it on good authority that this is also in their roadmap.
Um, wern't the "old fashioned" ways using teams of hired mercs to wage priovate wars with? Or am I just reading too many M-rated books?
'I have never, honestly, thrown a chair in my life,'
First stage: Denial
What he means folks, is that he has thrown a chair dishonestly.
Wow, MS a bit scared of the little search engine that could. And my good old competetion we mean being bullies and playing monopoly.
From the comment above I suspect he's been reading Slashot on a regular basis lately.
Steve Ballmer was quoted as saying "Fucking Mark Lukovsky a is a fucking pussy. I'm going to fucking bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I'm going to fucking kill Mark Lukovsky for starting that chair rumor!" after he denied throwing a chair.
This is my opinion. To make sure you don't steal it, it's covered by the DMCA.
"'I have never, honestly, thrown a chair in my life,' "
But once I did see a man dance like a monkey...
I work for Steve Ballmer, so I am reading these comments with great interest and no small amusement. He most certainly did not throw a chair. He threw his whole fucking credenza into the hallway and kung-FUDded it to splinters.
For not curing cancer?

"Hey, I MSN'd your mom last night."
"This software is such a piece of MSN!"
"MSN you, MSN-wad!"
"It burns when I pee. I think she gave me MSN."
Okay, I'll stop now.
"Live as if you'll die tomorrow." Ridiculous. You could die later today.
VIVA AMERICA!
America's the underdog?!

"Encyclopedia" is to "Wikipedia" what "Library" is to "Some people at a bus stop"
There are far too many similarities to ignore .
.. (They also both look like near hairless Gorillas )
Banner Vs Ballmer , they both get mad , turn a funny colour and start throwing things around
The only things certain in war are Propaganda and Death. You can never be sure which is which though
And I respond with, "Please don't." (:

I just added this to my quote file, and I'd like to humbly suggest that it'd make a great QOTD for Slashdot. (Taco?)

Steve: Whats over there? ...Ooookay... Now what?
Me: It'a a credenza
Steve: What's it doing?
Me: Nothing, it's a credenza.
Steve: I watch it, what's it do?
Me: Nothing It's a credenza
Steve: I grab it and throw it in the hallway.
Me:
Steve:Does it do anything?
Me: No IT'S a credenza!
Steve: I kung-Fu it's ass!
Me: Like a chair?
Steve: Hell Yeah like a chair! Except I'm going to fucking kill it! You HEAR ME credenza! I'm going to FUCKING KILL you!!!!
or maybe I'm confusing that with another story.
The Kruger Dunning explains most post on
I keep waiting for someone to make a remake of Donkey Kong, but with Ballmer throwing chairs instead of barrels and doing the "Developers!" dance. Has anyone yet seen any spoof games like this? :)
'I have never, honestly, thrown a chair in my life,'
You've never done ANYTHING honestly in your life, Steve.
Can you say the words "lying sack of shit"?
I knew you could.
