2007-11-06 19:18 Intendend and unintended consequences
The Swedish Home PC program, with tax breaks for purchasing a computer, seems to have had its intended consequence with broad PC and Internet adoption. But there were also effects that the Government likely didn't plan for. The following quote attributed to Steve Ballmer of Microsoft reinforces that a company providing core functionality to lot of people in a big market can make a lot of money: "The Swedish government is printing money for Microsoft. Grab this opportunity while it's here, it can …

2007-10-19 14:20 Microsoft Plans 20 Smaller Acquisitions a Year
I'm lucky (or unlucky, depending on your point of view) to have met Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. This was before the news of his chair throwing tendencies but the guy was still just as much intimidating. That said, I have respect for a guy that's straight talking and calls things as he sees them. At the recent Web 2.0 Summit in San Fran, Ballmer downplayed suggestions that MSFT would acquire Yahoo or Facebook. "If at some point it makes sense, maybe then it makes sense. But that's not where we a …

Rumors have been flying about the beginning of the end of the web 2.0 Summit, the super hi-profile, $3750 a seat, trade show in SF.

Here s what he was telling the journalists at the end of the Zeitgeist conference, a two-day gathering of an eclectic mix of Google co-opetitors, social activists and even politicians. œPeople don t appreciate how many page views on the Internet are in social networks.

At ITxpo in Orlando this week, Gartner analyst Yvonne Genovese took on Steve Ballmer of Microsoft. The exchange started as: Genovese : "My daughter comes in one day and says, 'Hey Mom, my friend has Vista, and it has these neat little things called gadgets -- I need those.'" Ballmer : "I love your daughter." Genovese : "You're not going to like her mom in about two minutes," And Genovese kept jabbing as you can read here. What's striking about this is not just the humor in the exchange, but how …
