Just in case anyone hasn't seen it...

(so it's pretty old)

No mention of who was the primary constituents of his audience that he
was, um, pumping. We don't know to whom he was pandering. All the hype
trying to qualify the release of Windows Vista and it still blundered.

There's Management and Sales and then there's Development. Thankfully
there's some separation between them.

Would you want an over-hyped childish CEO waking up the audience or have
Ben Stein to put them to sleep (www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxPVyieptwA)?

Now that Ballmer has his own basketball team, he
can burn off some of that energy showing the
players how to "shoot hoops". I can't believe that's
Ballmer on the right.

Since he can't jump, he will be okay.

Some of you missed the best part of the video. Great slapstick comedy at
the 20 second mark, discussed in the comments.

Did you note the name of the Boys and Girls club in the picture (July
2011, well before becoming an NBA team owner) that you referenced.
== Rainier ****Vista**** Boys & Girls Club.

What, that he can't jump, can't dance, or he got a nasty tighty whitey
pinch to his balls that he was trying to shake loose?

Maybe Mr. Ballmer had them change the name ?

It's what happens when you are out of shape and jump too high, in his
case about 3 inches off the floor, and all that weight comes down on one
ankle.

That's a good one.


I've always had a local copy.

Cycling the part in front of the podium over and over again is ROTFL
entertainment.
