Ballmer Babies Banned From iPods and Google

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the thats-one-way-to-slow-the-competition dept.

Valah writes "In a recent Fortune interview with Steve Ballmer, the newer kinder Microsoft CEO is not only ready to take on the videogaming, search, music download and mobile markets - but he's also laying down the law in his own house. Steve says that his kids are not allowed to use Google or have an iPod."

  1. No ... they become pastors by Fished · · Score: 1, Troll
    As a pastor myself, I know a lot of pastors. And I know an awful lot of pastors whose parents and grandparents were pastors, and a lot of pastors whose children become pastors.

    Not whores.

    Not to say it could never happen, but it doesn't tend to, and it's sad that you got modded up just because you had someting nasty to say about people who spend their whole lives trying to help others.

    This crap gets modded insightful? Some guy pulls some stuff out of his butt, says it's true, and it's insightful ? Give me a break! As someone who actually does go to church, I can tell you that NONE of the pastor's kids I have ever known have become atheists. A few did stop going to church, but none became atheists. Quite a large number of the boys followed in dad's footsteps and quite a few of the girls married a pastor.
