Fake Steve Jobs outed

Fake Steve Jobs outed





I like the caption to this graphics. "The real one is pictured right."

Shame; it always gave me a chuckle.

But it would be naive of me to presume the blog was written by a total nobody; you really need connections to get a blog like this going. The adage of "content is king", is dead.

Well, there's always Fake Paul Thurrot. (at least he deserves bashing )

Content is king.
The king is dead.
Connections are king.
Long live the king.

It's kind of a shame, I like FSJ, and I don't think it can carry on the same now.

Wanna start a Fake Steve Ballmer blog?

We still have Mini-Microsoft, whom I believe inspired Fake Steve.

Why? Who is Mini Microsoft pretending to be?

His anonymity enables him to express opinions that Microsoft PR would not otherwise approve of.

But he is actually a MSFT employee.  You lost me, nothing new there

He wouldn't be a MSFT employee much longer if he were outed.

.. because he criticises Senior Management? Should Snr Management be untouchable then?

There already is a Fake Steve Balmer blog.

What you really want is a Fake Ray Ozzie blog.

Ross have you been infected by British foot-and-mouth disease?

No. What sort of question is that? And it isn't British foot-and-mouth, it is just foot-and-mouth.

Microsoft's Senior Management took a tiny start-up and turned it into a gigantic multi national corporation and there isn't anything you or anyone else can say to change that.  

Why would I want to change that? I just don't think that very senior managers should be allowed to cruise along ignoring their primary role (increase shareholder benefit) and making rash and poor decisions in perpetuity whilst they themselves get ever richer.

You haven't answered my question - should senior management  be untouchable, or should they be answerable to shareholders?

Microsoft's Senior Management are the largest shareholders.

Do you think that lessens their responsibility to other investors?

I think they have the same goal - to increase the share price.


Now how many shares of MSFT do you hold?
