A bad CEO would be somebody who would cause the company to lose a load of money, like Sony for example. For laughing at the iPhone, he was judging it at release with it's then current extremely high price and the lack of features.
Well, the price was extremely high, and it was lacking tons of features. It was just executed at the right time which made it become popular. The iPhone didn't really catch on until the iPhone 3G with the App Store and a lot more features and better price.
ifanbois.. i meant Apple fanbois. they all hate balmer and will do anything to catch a scoop without facing the facts that he is a good CEO. nevermind forbes, the blog posters just happen to post those balmer dance videos without any apple bias whatsoever.
This article is disgusting and biased in every way. The author is quick to blame forbes yet made no efforts to back up the claim with real hard evidence that he is a bad CEO. In fact, by you posting this you are raising awareness, so even though it's negative, his madness created this article. Why not pick out why Steve job or TIM cook are bad ceo's? Can't hurt your precious babies right?
Based on those performances i'd say he might be insane but i don't think that has much to do with his job as a CEO.
People like you make me sick. If you don't like the bias, go to a sh*tty android forum. This is an Apple forum, deal with it.
No, it just shows your ignorance. At least I am not narrow minded and think apple is the best in the world. This is not just an apple forum - it's got android forums. Get off you're high horse mate and come to the real world. Also, you got it wrong, this article is about WINDOWS (maybe you're allergic to that word). Where does apple or android fit into WINDOWS?
The site is called iFans - iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch fans. There's going to be Apple bias. I use my computer running Windows 7 more than my MacBook, and I like the look of the Windows Phone 7 OS, but you don't see me running around these forums looking for a chance to release my anger on the staff here. Because I understand that Apple-specific bias is great for discussions on this website. And by the way, Forbes is one of the top business websites in the nation. If you need evidence from Jacob to prove that Ballmer is a bad CEO, you need to get your head out of your ass.
I'm going to be terribly terribly honest. I was a little scared. I certainly wouldn't want to be in the front row of a conference with that sort of decor, or that CEO demonstrating those strange medical symptoms. Since when was Steve Ballmer an Americanised name for a Howler Monkey?
