"All iPod owners are thieves"

Barmy Steve Ballmer from Microsoft has decided has decided to shorten his stay on planet sensible and has gone to live with the fairies. In a completely outrageous slur aimed at Apple he commented in London at a press conference: "The most common format of music on an iPod is 'stolen'."

Not in my iPod Mr 'barmy' Ballmer and I suspect not in most peoples either. This coming from a company that allegedly borrowed a lot of its original source code from other places... is a bit ripe.

Microsoft execs are undoubtedly upset by Apples success with the iPod and hitting out at the people who have iPods, a lot of whom are Microsoft Windows users who will now consider converting their allegiance to Apple, will enrage a very loyal fan base.

What a prat.

The full Steve Ballmer press session giving the infamous iPod owners quote a slightly different context - but still calling us all tea leafs...
