According to this article (http://hardware.silicon.com/storage/0,39024649,39124702,00.htm) Steve Ballmer doesn't remember calling iPod users thieves. Talk about selective memory. :rolleyes:

Dude needs a memory upgrade.
Actually, he's blatantly admitting his comment had the effect he desired and didn't want to discuss it any longer. It was just a one-time thing to stir the pot and that's that.

I would be running for the hills if I were him. I am totally against filing a lawsuit for every little thing, but what he did was slander.

On thing I've always though Steve Ballmer needed was...
...A volume control.
Is it me? Or does it always sound like he's shouting?

My mom used to Tele-Prompt for him and bill. And she confirms that he does always sound like he is shouting. However she say that he is a very nice guy :rolleyes:

Not only that but photos of the guy can be downright frightening. Somebody on this forum hit it dead-center a few months back when he/she described Ballmer's appearance as resembling somebody "on a crystal meth jag."

I've been watching Pirates of Silicon Valley in a class and I love the way the way they portray him in that movie. Basically, he is the village idiot in the movie and the more I hear from him the more it seems to fit.

I actually think that Steve Ballmer and Dr Phil are the same person. Has anyone actually seen these 2 in the same room together. :rolleyes: Doesn't he understand that Windows users use the iPod to or are they stealers too.

I vote for a self-destruct button. Once and for all :rolleyes:
Stealing music is wrong, what about stealing computer time way back when? Or rifling through dumspters salvaging code? Is that OK?
