The real joke is on Steve Ballmer


In front of nearly 2,000 Microsoft enthusiasts in technology conference in Seattle, Steve Ballmer (Microsoft CEO) made a joke on his latest bid offering to acquire Yahoo which is priced at $31 per share. Steve was first asked how many are there people in the room who use Yahoo search as their primary web search engine, only a small handful of people raised their hands; much fewer than they who use Microsoft's Live search. That's when Ballmer said jokingly: "Wow! We offered 31 bucks a share."
Personally I think Steve Ballmer just made a joke about himself, in respective about Microsoft too, because this tail-chasing drama between Microsoft & Yahoo is beginning to sounds more like a parody than a serious business transaction anymore...
