Microsoft CEO Signs Student's Mac Laptop

Posted by samzenpus on from the your-autograph-please dept.

Liz Str8 writes "When Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft, spoke at a Nashville Technology Council event held at Trevecca Nazarene University, he participated in a 'meet and greet' session with students from local colleges and universities. At that event, a Trevecca student asked Ballmer to sign his Mac laptop. In an action that Tech Flash blogger Todd Bishop described as 'a scene that will make Mac fans feel like they're watching Thomas Kinkade scribble on a Van Gogh,' Ballmer graciously agreed to do so — right across the Mac logo."

    1st: How can someone be in the same room as Ballmer and control the impulse to insult, hurt and humiliate him.
    2nd: How can someone destroy a laptop like that. Now it needs to burn to be purified :)

      Ballmer's actually a good guy when you're having a beer with him. I've never had to work for him - he might be a total dick as a boss - but I wouldn't mind meeting him again for another beer.
