  2. Children have no voice... Every kid deserves a shot... Govt provides most of the funding to those that need it but philanthropy shows where's it's needed.

  3. I love the fact that Ballmer could buy all the scumbag billionaire NBA owners below him in the top 10 richest... especially EVIL incorporated's, Adelson/Dumont.

    (Full disclosure: I worked for Ballmer. He was a firey businessman but has a total heart of gold & I have the receipts.)

  4. What is wrong with this world: The world’s 10 richest people got a record $64 billion richer from Trump’s reelection.

    Bloomberg notes it’s the “biggest daily increase” of wealth it’s seen since the index began in 2012:

  5. Microsoft billionaire fights US election disinformation

    “Hi, I’m #Steve #Ballmer. I spent 34 years growing Microsoft, 10 years owning the LA Clippers basketball team. I love computers, data and facts.

    That’s why I started ⭐️USAFacts,” Ballmer says at the top of the program.

    Leading up to election day in November, #USAFacts is rolling out a series of fact-filled educational videoscentered on the US.
    The videos are available on YouTube and will be shown as late-night commercials on select TV channels.

    Depending on what program you’re tuning into, you’ll come across stats and information about the federal #budget, #immigration, the #environment or #healthcare.

    And while Ballmer is leading the program, he says he is not out to change people’s minds.
    “We’re trying to arm the American public with the information to do their jobs as citizens,” Ballmer said. “We don’t pick sides.”

    The idea behind USAFacts came when Ballmer started helping his wife with his family’s philanthropic efforts and found himself facing the 💥scale and complexity of government data.

    The organization’s first project, published in 2017, was what Ballmer considers a version of the 👉10-K financial reports companies are required to compile that illustrates the financial conditions of the company.

    The report, now published annually, is called the "Government 10-K"
    – named after the yearly financial report that public companies in the United States must file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

    Every year, the organization goes to Washington DC to host a session for lawmakers on its annual report and gives recommendations to lawmakers on collecting data.
    “It’s just, here’s how we look at our company. Here’s our numbers about how we’re doing. It has to be presented with context,” Ballmer said.

    Ballmer said USAFacts was non-partisan and only used information published by local, state and federal governments as a way to gain people’s trust in its data.
    Information from other sources, like university research or thinktanks, is not included.

  6. Wisst ihr noch? Als der Microsoft-Chef über das #iPhone lachte
    Mit der Vorstellung des ersten iPhones löste Apple einen Hype aus. Nur der damalige Microsoft-Chef Steve #Ballmer ließ sich davon nicht anstecken. Er lachte vor laufender Kamera über das Apple-Gerät.

    @[email protected] hat das Video nochmals ausgegraben

  7. You! Are! Fucking! Kidding! Me!

    This is the guy who said: "500 dollars? Fully subsidized? With a plan? I said that is the most expensive phone in the world. And it doesn't appeal to business customers because it doesn't have a keyboard. Which makes it not a very good email machine." #iPhone #Ballmer

  8. The new Web tab removes the #YouTube cards, but YT links still clutter text search results. Nothing like the fast, clean old #Google. The inevitable result of putting a non-software, non-product lover in charge: #Pichai is Goog’s #Ballmer × #Zuck.

  9. Steve #Ballmer, langjähriger CEO von #Microsoft, ist nun der fünftreichste Mensch des Planeten. Das hat er vor allem seinen Aktienpaket zu verdanken. winfuture.de/news,139323.html?

  10. We are very sure Steven #Ballmer has plenty of money left after buying Forum so hopefully he'll take care of arena workers during the #coronavirus #covid19 pandemic just like Dallas #Mavericks owner Mark Cuban

  11. Münchens Ex-OB: Ballmer sprang durchs Büro wegen Wechsel zu Linux

    Münchens Ex-OB Christian Ude plaudert aus dem Nähkästchen: Als München von Windows zu Linux wechselte, sprang Steve Ballmer durch Udes Büro. Bill Gates saß fassungslos im Auto mit Ude. Und ausgerechnet eine Grüne war dann plötzlich für die Rückkehr zum Monopolisten.
