Balmer, the new poster boy for Apple
I don’t know. Is this really worth the attention of the Blogosphere?
You bet it is. This photo of a Steve Balmer graphic presentation using a MacBook is better propaganda than just about anything.
It’s posted on Flickr.com, and the comments with it range from “no way” to “I knew it” to “nice Photoshop.” One person who claimed to have attended the conference in Belgium where the photo originated said the laptop was there already and had been used by other speakers.
Still this is as good as the Apple vs. PC commercials on TV:
And here’s a comment from the Fakestevebalmer.com site: “C’mon people! Does anybody in their right mind believe that I would set foot on a stage where my presentaion was being run from a Mac? Gimme a break!”

These photos are all fake! The person who took them knew they were fake even as he took them!

It would be pretty funny if the Mac was running Vista in Boot Camp or Parallels…

My PI (Jack Stone) is looking into this “Paint.it.black” fellow and his partner in crime “chubbystar”! Already found some skeletons in their closets, … and one is still in the closet! … report is pending and will be on my blog.
