As a special treat, we now bring you an excerpt from MacUser’s upcoming first published collection, The Zen of Steve Ballmer. The Wall Street Journal talked with the Microsoft CEO, including asking him about a potential hostile takeover of Yahoo.
“With the right circumstances it’ll happen. Without the right circumstances it won’t happen,” said [Ballmer].
After that profound observation, a loud gong was sounded, but Ballmer quickly explained that merely meant that his lunch was ready. His lunch of pure, unsullied souls. Topped with a chipotle spread and a little lemon. Mmm.
Word on the street says that were Microsoft to launch a hostile bid on Yahoo, it could happen as soon as today. In fact, it may be happening as you read this. If you listen very quietly, perhaps you will be able to make out the distant ringing of the gong that indicates Ballmer is once again on the warpath.
