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.
