an expression is worth a 100 wordsLOL , You see the look on Steve's face after he comes out from the hiding

Yeah, I appreciate the attempt to laugh it off, but that was an awful joke. Not even remotely funny.
It was a funny incident though.
Bill Gates is an extraordinary person; Steve Ballmer is a cross between a human being and an ape.

That said, if it were me, I would've probably been too embarrassed (and, if I was the CEO of Microsoft, totally incensed) to say anything at all.

I know a lot of Apple and FOSS fanboys who think Bill Gates getting pumpkin-pied is funny, but I didn't. That was wrong. This, however, isn't. Bill Gates is an extraordinary person; Steve Ballmer is a cross between a human being and an ape.
I'd sure like to see someone try to pull this stunt off in a Jobsian keynote.
agree with every word of the first 2 paras, don't know about Stallman but even if he does or is half of what u said, my respect to him
, holy hell isn't he the same guy who uses a mail client for browsing
stallman didn't actualy use a mail client for browsing. He used a chain of tools which function in a way similar to an email client when used together. Ayyush didn't follow it, because he is not used to technical lingo, so he called it a mail clientagree with every word of the first 2 paras, don't know about Stallman but even if he does or is half of what u said, my respect to him
ah i see, don't blame him though, he just looks at the UIAyyush didn't follow it, because he is not used to technical lingo, so he called it a mail client
???Stock options
but I remember reading about some "compensation" apple gave Jobs last year to make up for the missing salary. What was that ?Stock options are just options given to employees to purchase stock at a particular price in the future. So, naturally, the employee would work in the best interests of the company to maximise his payoff from the stock options.
Say you're an employee of Reliance Industries and you're given an option to purchase 5000 Reliance shares at say Rs. 2600, which is the current price, after 2 years contingent upon your employment with the company. Now, you'd do all you can do to ensure that the company performs well, and the stock price increases. Imagine being able to purchase it for 2.6k/share when the price is 3.5k/share. You make a profit of 900/share; exclusive of capital gains and other taxes, and transaction costs.
Steve Jobs will do just fine with a USD 1/annum salary, till he gets hundreds of millions worth of stock options per year.
