Ballmer on the iPhone announcements

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Apple, iPhone

Sure, we've had a lot to say about Apple's iPhone announcements yesterday but what does Steve Ballmer think? Ballmer is the CEO of Microsoft (a small software company based in Washington state), and during Mix '08 he was asked about the iPhone SDK, ActiveSync, and if Silverlight (Microsoft's Flash-like web technology) will make an appearance on the iPhone.

Ballmer said that Silverlight on the iPhone is interesting, but hasn't been discussed much with Apple. He, of course, welcomed Apple's use of ActiveSync (hey, Microsoft likes money), and he hinted that the 30% cut that Apple is taking in the App Store might be a little high.

Universal Music CEO says iPods are "repositories for stolen music"

Posted Nov 13th 2006 6:00PM by Laurie A. Duncan

Universal Music Group CEO Doug Morris is the latest tech exec to call iPod users thieves. Ballmer started it. Then came Glaser - who also dared call His Steveness "pigheaded." The comment was made in the context of the UMG boss stumping for Zune and applauding Microsoft's agreement to pay ~~protection money~~ ~~extortion~~ royalties to ~~the bag man~~ Universal with every Zune sold.

About the iPod, Morris said "These devices are just repositories for stolen music, and they all know it,. So it's time to get paid for it."

Gee, Doug, you're not still bitter about Apple ~~rebuffing~~ trying to buy your company, are you? Never mind. That was a rhetorical question.
