Steve Ballmer Signs A Mac
By Giles Turnbull (9:19 am, Jan. 22, 2010)
Gaines Kergosien filmed this amusing little interlude at Trevecca Nazarene University the other day.
A student politely asked Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to sign his Mac – and Ballmer genially played along.
Next week, Sergey and Larry will be doing guest slots in a “Get a Mac” ad, with Sergey as Mac and Larry as PC.

What did he write ?

first his name, then above it it looks like he adds: “need a new one?”
He’s probably excited about the Tablet too.

What did he wrote on it besides sig. ?

First piece of PR/Advertising Microsoft has gotten right in years. And it seems like everyone including Steve enjoyed the laugh.

Notice however he purposely signed over the Apple Logo. Some might say he has some unresolved issues.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! LOL!!! EPIC fail!
But I have to admit Ballmer’s reaction was quite nice though.

Win for ballmer! You say that guy asked politely, but you know his true intentions.

Wonder if Steve Jobs would be so kind as to sign a PC?

I’m sure the mac’s owner is disappointed Ballmer didn’t smash it on the floor and stomped on it. Imagine how much *that* would have fetched on eBay!

Steve Ballmer is human too and has a great sense for humor (I have met him and still enjoy that meeting)
