i would be friends with steve ballmer

At that point, Mr. Ballmer picked up a chair and threw it across the room hitting a table in his office. Mr. Ballmer then said: “Fucking Eric Schmidt is a fucking pussy. I’m going to fucking bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I’m going to fucking kill Google.” ….

Every picture of Steve Ballmer looks like it was taken a few seconds after or before he threw a chair across the room.

what's with grubby's recent obsession over this chinese knockoff iphone?

joe "scratch" perry (diamonddave85), Friday, 25 July 2014 22:36 (nine years ago) link

Jobs loved having enemies so Gubes has to love it too I guess?

ugh (lukas), Friday, 25 July 2014 22:40 (nine years ago) link

The Chinese: Good enough to manufacture iPhones, not good enough to compete with the iPhone

, Friday, 25 July 2014 23:04 (nine years ago) link

Gruber is probably just salty that Apple so badly misjudged the Chinese market with the 5c

, Friday, 25 July 2014 23:04 (nine years ago) link

I think he honestly sees even Samsung's less brazen chasing/copying of iPhone features and aesthetics as some sort of monumental injustice, a crime not against just Apple but against all human creative endeavors.

I have noticed that every page that tries to sell you something now has copied Apple's sales roll like

i wasn't saying that wasn't deserved, just that he gets on these things from time to time

two weeks pass...

did anyone see the incident the other day when he posted something suggesting the iwatches release date and then said he was joking after (i think) the verge and shit picked it up?

markers, Tuesday, 12 August 2014 22:40 (nine years ago) link

imagine launching the iphone 6 and the iwatch in the same event? a major revision to the iphone's gotta have its own thing. and the iwatch is a whole new category!

markers, Tuesday, 12 August 2014 22:41 (nine years ago) link

yeah that was bonkers, it was all "Gruber confirms iwatch for september" based on a stray joke

gruber presumably has handlers at this point, they probably put him on leak embargo

heck (silby), Tuesday, 12 August 2014 22:42 (nine years ago) link

it didn't sound like a joke to me when i read it
