an expression is worth a 100 words he was scared shocked amused all at the same time, but the that was a friendly disruption quote was something only a few people can come up with

True. Only a few people have non-sense of humour.

[aryayush]

Yeah, I appreciate the attempt to laugh it off, but that was an awful joke. Not even remotely funny.

That said, if it were me, I would've probably been too embarrassed (and, if I was the CEO of Microsoft, totally incensed) to say anything at all.

It was a funny incident though.

I know a lot of Apple and FOSS fanboys who think Bill Gates getting pumpkin-pied is funny, but I didn't. That was wrong. This, however, isn't. Bill Gates is an extraordinary person; Steve Ballmer is a cross between a human being and an ape.

I'd sure like to see someone try to pull this stunt off in a Jobsian keynote.

hungary is a good country for students I must say,lol.

Yeah, Steve Ballmer seems a bit uncultured when compared to Bill Gates and considering the statements he's made so far, "egg treatment" was just waiting to come.So u think it's an awful joke but think it was funny incident?

[aryayush]

Not laugh-out-loud funny, just amusing. Most people watching this video would smirk and say, “serves him right”.

[Faun]

I appreciate that


The friggin doom 3 version


Lool...and all that times i thought I saw him somewhere in a game

+1.

As much as I hate the lies apple tells consumers, I think Steve Jobs is one of the greatest industrialists to have set foot on this planet. His brilliant planning, thoughtful personality, and the tough attitude he has for marketing are awe inspiring. The story of Steve Jobs saving apple from doom and making it a world leader is legendary. He was willing to become the lowest paid CEO by accepting 1$ per month just so that he could lead his dream company. Salutes to him.

M$ may have exessive monopoly abuse and all that, but Bill Gates is one fine specimen of a man. His human nature is too good. Look at him - he decided the first place spot for the world's richest man was not as important as donating 30% of his wealth to the needy.

I needn't speak twice about Richard M Stallman, the Gandhi of Computing. He is hardly wealthy thanks to his partially rejecting material life, he doesn't own a car, he works for free, and doesn't accept personal donations, instead choosing to send all money he gets to free software welfare. His ideologies are great.

agree with every word of the first 2 paras, don't know about Stallman but even if he does or is half of what u said, my respect to him , holy hell isn't he the same guy who uses a mail client for browsing

stallman didn't actualy use a mail client for browsing. He used a chain of tools which function in a way similar to an email client when used together. Ayyush didn't follow it, because he is not used to technical lingo, so he called it a mail client

Stock options

I never really understood the context due to which he accepted 1$ a month pay.
History is too obscure.

[mail2and]

Stock options are just options given to employees to purchase stock at a particular price in the future. So, naturally, the employee would work in the best interests of the company to maximise his payoff from the stock options.

Say you're an employee of Reliance Industries and you're given an option to purchase 5000 Reliance shares at say Rs. 2600, which is the current price, after 2 years contingent upon your employment with the company. Now, you'd do all you can do to ensure that the company performs well, and the stock price increases. Imagine being able to purchase it for 2.6k/share when the price is 3.5k/share. You make a profit of 900/share; exclusive of capital gains and other taxes, and transaction costs.

Steve Jobs will do just fine with a USD 1/annum salary, till he gets hundreds of millions worth of stock options per year.

but I remember reading about some "compensation" apple gave Jobs last year to make up for the missing salary. What was that ?

[Vyasram]

I bet he wiped those ****ing eggs off his face and licked them off his hands.
