Here’s what he told an engineer who left for Google in 2004, after hurling a chair:
“Fucking Eric Schmidt is a fucking pussy!” Ballmer yelled, according to the court document. “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.”
Ballmer: ‘Eric Schmidt is a fucking pussy!’
LMAO! Normally, I wouldn’t cheer for Ballmer, but in this case…
I absolutely love this headline.
You know that line Brando says in The Godfather about “Never let anyone from outside the family know what you’re thinking”?
I guess Ballmer never saw that movie.
The only way Ballmer could kill Google would be if Brin and Page showed him a way to do it that he could copy clumsily.
That, or by drowning them in his own sweat.
That is awesome. I’m not even a huge Microsoft fan. You have to love the passion and determination.
I’d love to see Ballmer “fucking kill Google”, and then die laughing! Luckily for Ballmer’s health, he couldn’t execute his way to kill Yahoo, let alone Google.
and yet Steve Jobs talks about going to war and folks laugh at him. I guess he should have tossed a chair or two and channeled his inner Sam Jackson with some cussing to get taken seriously
No but Jobs clearly did. And made sure Tim etc saw it too.
