Weekend Humor: Steve Ballmer reviews the iPad

By Daniel Rubino
last updated

What happens when "fake" CEO Steve Ballmer takes the new Apple iPad for a spin? Evidently, he's none too happy with it. Are you kiddin' me?

Full hilarious video after the break and yeah, we don't owe you a new keyboard if you are imbibing while watching. You've been warned.

  • Absolutely hilarious. Well done and thank you whoever did this video.
  • Can you put this on AndroidCentral? I am sure they would find it every bit as funny as WMExperts.
  • Hey, Steve wears running shoes, not sandals. The Scoble comment was dead on!
  • Good stuff by whoever did this. The Safari comment should soon be finding its way into the signature line of MS fanboys everywhere.
  • Nice, any buyers remorse Malatesta?
  • Surprisingly, *no*. I use it everyday and it's a great passive-internet device. Actually, it's really good for three things: web, video and gaming. I still agree with all the criticisms and I still think it's way overpriced. But it's a lot of fun and development on it is HUGE (5,000+ apps so far; granted a lot are crap but at least 100 are not, lol).
  • Holy crap. That looks just like him. I wasn't aware it WASN'T the real Steve until about 1 minute in. Genius.
  • Amazing how they were able to so perfectly capture Ballmer's essence in a puppet! Well done!
  • the cookie monster voice makes this vid. William, theamazingipad.com
  • Wow, that made my day! Thanks WME, for finally posting something worthwhile that I haven't seen on the other guys...
  • I happen to have an iPad, yet still found this hilarious, along with some very good points. Nicely done! Now, back to my iPad...
