Steve Ballmer Signs a Macbook – How About the Apple Tablet?
Humor January 25th, 2010
Legend says Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer got really angry last year at an internal Microsoft event, when he saw an employee taking his pic with an iPhone- he grabbed it, pretended to stomp it and made fun of the employee (is he still an employee?) .
Well apparently he is more tolerant with outsiders, in fact may even have developed a sense of humor… watch this video showing Steve Ballmer as he signs a student’s Macbook:
Now that he warmed up to it, I wonder if he’ll go on stage and sign the Apple Tablet Steve Jobs is about to unveil?

This morning’s news brought panic, as hundreds of Tweets reported:
Steve Jobs was rushed to ER after severe heart attack.
AAPL took a nosedive, then recovered.
Fortunately the news turned out to be bogus. Citizen journalism failed today.
Read the full chronology over @ CloudAve.
