Ballmer Calls Android a "Press Release"

Bergkamp10 writes "Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer tried to shoot down Google's new mobile platform at a press conference in Tokyo. Ballmer called Android a mere 'press release' at present, and said the mobile platform market is 'Microsoft's world.' Ballmer dodged requests to comment on specifics of the Android software platform, preferring instead to highlight the successes of the Windows Mobile platform which he said is on 150 different handsets and is available from over 100 different mobile operators. 'Well of course their efforts are just some words on paper right now, it's hard to do a very clear comparison [with Windows Mobile],' Ballmer said. 'Right now they have a press release, we have many, many millions of customers, great software, many hardware devices and they're welcome in our world,' he added."

warning, new url spoofing... sort-of.

This site although it says [google.com] actually links you to goatse.ch.

It's completely off-topic, I know, and it'll make a lot of people unhappy with me showing this, so I'm posting this as AC.
In any way, This link makes use of the "I'm feeling lucky" function.
You can search for anything with a certain url, using inurl:"[url]" in the search field. if you then use the IFL button, you'll end up on the first page of that url.
This IFL button can also be inserted into the url-bar by adding the parameter "&btnI=I'm%20feeling%20lucky"

Previous link to goatse thus as verbose: "www.google.com/search?q=inurl:"goatse.ch"&btnI=I'm%20feeling%20lucky"

and yes... I could've used a different link to hide, but if I'd forward you all too dell.com, it wouldn't nearly have as much effect... or perhaps, with this crowd it would. Dell is as hideous as goatse for a lot of us...
