I say this as someone who is very, very, wary of using Google for everything:

It's true. Responding to Ballmer quotes is intensely difficult.

Sometimes he outright shoots his mouth off, such as when talking about Winmo 7 or Blu Ray on the 360.

Other times his statements regarding the US economy are cryptic for anyone hoping to see real leadership from CEO's instead of investor-speak for status quo.

He's a terrible CEO, in charge of a company that I actually like. Bill Gates at least saw the big picture, allocated resources, and followed through on his vision. Every time.

The only time I think it's apt to take Ballmer seriously is the one time NO ONE took him seriously. When he was shouting "developers! Developers!" Well, that's remarkably true now, from app stores to Mozilla add-ons, the world belongs to developers and Google developers.

Well it would only make sense that a Google CEO, of all companies, would obey one of the primary rules of the internet:

Don't feed the trolls.

@OCEntertainment: Having the right fist of righteousness and the banhammer on the left, he must have a pretty good idea of how things should go.

Al Gore invented the internet, but Eric Schmidt made it. #google
