Ballmer a Clueless Dolt
Posted October 4th, 2004 @ 08:13am by Erik J. Barzeski
Says Steve Ballmer, the man whose platform and OS ran Napster for quite a few years:
iPod users are music thieves. We’ve had DRM in Windows for years. The most common format of music on an iPod is 'stolen'.
To Ballmer: you're a friggin' idiot. Sit down and shaddup. Read more at silicon.com.

Can't be done. If Ballmer ever shuts up it will create a huge thermonuclear explosion that will wipe off all life on earth. You may have better luck trying to shut up Howard Stern or O'Reilly.

I was going to say the same thing, but I don't think I could have done so as elegantly. "Clueless dolt" - sheer poetry 🙂

I bet the iPod is the only MP3 player out there that ships with a sign stuck to its LCD that says "don't steal music" in 5 or 6 languages.

Well, iPod is close to becoming a generic term, much like band-aid, or Kleenex. Maybe that's what he meant by 'iPod.' That could return just a touch of his credibility, but .... not much.
Besides, it's not like this music he mentions wasn't already on the WINDOWS PCs of users prior to their purchase. "Oh, I just got my iPod. Now, I will go download hella illegal music for the FIRST TIME!!" yeah, sure...

I can't believe they retracted their article?
