I'll probably be adding this one to the collection sooner or later.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/hansberry/2002/20021008-badboyballmer.jpg" /><br /><br />"In January 2000 Bill Gates gave his responsibilities and the title chief executive officer of Microsoft to his best friend, Steve Ballmer, who had been at Gates's side almost since the company's earliest days. The news sent shock waves throughout the technology and computer worlds, making many people wonder about the man who was now entrusted with Bill Gates's baby. The life of Steve Ballmer is an incredible story of tremendous ambition, genius, arrogance, and charisma, an up-by-the-bootstraps saga of how the only child of a Swiss immigrant grew up in suburban Michigan and became the fourth wealthiest American while working for someone else. Bad Boy Ballmer also reveals a man so arrogant that after the Department of Justice filed its antitrust suit against Microsoft, Ballmer stood onstage in San Jose and proclaimed "to hell with Janet Reno," a man so intense and aggressive that he once ripped his vocal cords by yelling too loudly."<br /><br />Well, with that kind of statement towards Ms. Reno, I'll probably be adding it sooner rather than later. :lol: Don't forget if you subscribe to the Peanut Press weekly newsletter, you can get 10% discounts off of most purchases.

Try watching this following clip late at night with the lights out, for a scare:

If you don't like scary movies, try this instead:

I'd almost buy the book just to see what Balmer was talking about with that comment about Reno. :-)

BTW, I can't get that first MPEG to play.

a rich man named Ballmer "To hell with Janet Reno!" and Ashcroft too. That felt good, too bad I'm not the fourth richest man in America or it'd go in a book.

$15!? That's nearly AUD$30 for me, and that's pretty close to paper book prices. Sorry, but e-books are a no go at this price.
