Not Monty Burns





No, that's Microsoft's CEO, Steve Ballmer who, according to the Sydney Morning Herald said :
"I'm going to f---ing bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again," the declaration quotes Ballmer. "I'm going to f---ing kill Google."
Last time I heard words like that, they were in "The Godfather Part II". But that was said by the crime boss of an evil underworld empire that held a monopoly on organised crime in large segments of the US. There couldn't possibly be any relation to such an august and freely competitive firm as Microsoft.

No, this is C. Montgomery Burns. Just as evil, but with far more class.

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.

Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.

Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.

As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
