Steve Ballmer Puppet Reviews The iPad

May 17, 2010 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

If you are familiar with  Loren Feldman from 1938Media, you know what this video is all about. In this video, Steve Ballmer doesn’t seem to like the iPad. No multi-tasking, no Farmville, no porn. How can this this thing be called a web tablet when you can’t get to 95% of the web with this thing. It’s like a big Palm pilot. Let me guess the next version will come with a camera. Before they get there though they need to install a clock and calculator on this thing.

Microsoft Employee’s Secretly Love The iPhone

March 16, 2010 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

According to The Wall Street Journal, about 10% of Microsoft’s employees are avid users of the iPhone.

Steve Ballmer Signs Student’s Macbook Pro

January 22, 2010 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

Earlier this week, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer gave the keynote address to the Nashville Technology Council, which was held at Trevecca Nazarene University (TNU) in Nashville, TN. Steve, who is on a multi-city tour to promote Microsoft, joined other prominent technology professionals like Abbie Lundberg, editor-in-chief of CIO Magazine.

After the speeches were done, Steve did a meet-and-greet with TNU Students to answer brief questions, sign autographs and so on. One student asked for Steve’s autograph — on a MacBook Pro.

To his credit, Steve handled the awkward moment well (as another student’s camera rolled), writing “Need a new one? Steve Ballmer” smack-dab over the laptop’s logo. Kudos to Steve for his cool-headed response (we can’t imagine what Steve Jobs would do if asked to sign a Dell) and for that student with the nerve to pull such a stunt.

You can see close ups of the signature here.

Microsoft Delivers Bing Search App

December 16, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

Search is really getting interesting these days. Microsoft late last night released Bing [iTunes link] for the iPhone — a full featured free app offering search, movies, maps, and directions, all with voice control.

It’s notable that Microsoft is going after iPhone mind-share after Steve Ballmer famously dissed the iPhone more than 2 years ago. He’s had to sit back and watch the iPhone eclipse Windows Mobile phones in the marketplace, which can’t be pleasant, but business is business, and Microsoft is pushing the Bing search suite of tools hard.
