His mistake there is admitting it really. I can think of more than a few ways to weasel it to that not being what it seems, but I am not here to really defend the guy. The only valid reason would be personal phone vs business phone. Why not try out what else is out there if you have a free one from work?

I was listening to a podcast, and a comment was made that nerds don't know when to give up a joke, well past it's prime.

I can understand trying something out. But when you're a top level executive spokeman for a company, do you really want to publicize to the world you use a competing product? Do you think you'd ever see this from Ballmer or Gates?



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

That is funny. I was just reading about how people who don't know how to use a comma shouldn't expect to be taken seriously. You should check out the article.

LOL...it's always funny when people on the internet try to pull out the grammar/spelling angle.  That’s when you know you don’t have a shit to say.  What is it…”Well, I can’t take you seriously…”, errr…you’re posting on the fucking message boards about video games.  Kinda like someone just out of bankruptcy trying to tell me how to invest for the future, or someone recently out of a divorce giving martial advice.

Yeah expecting people t use a period is so unbelievable. How can anyone remember to use them once in awhile? They are such an obscure, and misunderstood part of speech.

Interesting observation (not sure if anyone's pointed this out yet): He's posted tweets from both an Android phone and an iPhone. Erm, hello, which company do you work for again, Mr. Greenberg? Even he won't buy a Windows Mobile

OT: Greenberg is full of shit.

Seriouly, I'm kind of shocked that a high level executive at Microsoft would be using competing phones to speak to the public. There really is no excuse. I can understand him wanting to try other phones, but it don't take a genius to do it discretely.
