He may not run Microsoft, but he's the Chairman of the Board that CHOOSES the guy that runs Microsoft. And year after year, Microsoft's Gates-led Board reaffirms its faith in Ballmer.
That doesn't shock me. Back in the Day, Bill had a Japanese buddy named Kazuhiko Nishi who spent a million dollars building a giant robot dinosaur for a TV show promoting Microsoft products, then had to bail him out when he dropped $275K on a stock scam. Sounds just like a proto-Ballmer.
Frankly I think they should admit defeat on their mobile and tablet offerings, buy Blackberry, which at least still has some corporate penetration, and tighten the links between those mobile products and Office-Exchange. RT and Surface are still demonstrating just how much Microsoft is on the wrong side of the door trying to get in.
Microsoft is always a day late and a dollar short. They're just getting Bing together when Search is yesterday. By the time they put out a decent smartphone, in 2017, everyone will say that's so five years ago because the Samsung Shirtbutton will be uploading everything a user sees and does, real time to Facebook and Google Goggles will be all the rage for web content delivery.
It's Windows. Everything had to be windows. They stuck to windows until the gamechangers (iPhone, Android) had market dominance... now is a little too late to switch everything over to Metro.
When you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail. If Microsoft was a bit smaller, like Adobe, and only had Word going for them, they'd push out a Word Phone. Sell Word Tablets. Get Marky Mark to do their commercials, say, "Word Up."
You know, if asteroids were really a big problem, then life on Earth wouldn't have gotten a toehold, and no one would be here to worry about it. Ain't the Anthropic Principle grand? This just sounds like a way to separate US taxpayers from their money through fear, not unlike the War on Terrah.
The very first cut did NOT have Episode IV in the crawl, because Fox made Lucas take it out. In every subsequent printing, he inserted it back in without telling them.
Kids these days! I was there, I was 11, it was just "Star Wars" and supposed to be a one-off, and only when we sat down and saw the crawl for Empire did we find out we're in the middle of a nine-part trilogy of trilogies, subsequently pared back to a hexology.
It's a hallucination shared by egos, like when you say, "I wonder what's happening IN Slashdot." Technically it's nothing but a bunch of busy file transfer protocols.
What does that even mean? Left side? Right side? I have scientific information that the moon is 384,400 km from the center of the Earth. Does that mean we need to examine the far side?
You are right about IE8 but in the summary I read "Adobe announced on the Photoshop Blog that the next version of Photoshop CS would support only Windows 7 and 8."
I don't want my apps supporting my OS, I want my OS supporting my apps.
The black squares block out the evidence of an advanced civilization on Mars. It's a compromise. NASA needs to run Mars rover missions so they have a funding stream, but it's very important that no one finds out We Are Not Alone because Society is Not Ready for the Truth. There Are Some Things Man Was Not Meant To Know.
Slashdot Mirror
...they can look for Tol Eressa. And that means the Undying Lands of the Valar is probably Africa. Won't that make the Mormons crap their pants.

Same thing will happen to the high speed rail, and California will have a $50 billion dollar track between Hooterville and Jerkwater.
Android? Perhaps you forgot about the company that makes 3/4 of all the profits made in mobile... Android is fighting for the table scraps.
Those profits come from the bling factor of Apple phones. It's like Rolex. People want to be seen using it. Never mind if it's any good.
Ford turned 63 in 2005.
That's why this will be titled Star Wars VII: Attack of the Gums.

Liberty doesn't extend to radiating excessive EM radiation from your property above background levels.
Sol is one God almighty powerful AM radio station, forces even KGO in San Fran off the air nights in most other markets.
Overall inflation has been shockingly, distressingly, low for the past decade.
Sure, but for the first 10^-19 seconds of the expansion of the universe inflation was merciless.
RIAA lobbied for this so pirated MP3s didn't get out into the universe.
'analyze all sides of scientific information' \
What does that even mean? Left side? Right side? I have scientific information that the moon is 384,400 km from the center of the Earth. Does that mean we need to examine the far side?
...is like undressing in front of your cat. There's no comprehension going on there at all. If you're embarrassed, you're just being a moron.
In Soviet Russia, xbox watches YOU.
First Contact was serviceable.

Windows 3.1 AARD code made it DR-DOS proof, but that's about the only way to do this sort of thing. Undocumented opcodes.
Betcha didn't know all the computations for the holodeck were done inside the holograms themselves.
Either way, I think Moore's Law needs to be revised again. He was a pessimist.
Voyager seems to be "heading for the stars" once every six months
The Linux Desktop is headed for the stars. You'll see!
When the Linux kernel reaches version 4.0 it will be the Year of the Linux Desktop. Real Soon Now.
And the jagged diagonal lines on "MICROSOFT" are so retro Win3.1. Flying toasters are out. Flying chairs are in.
