Companies in the mobile industry will need to be "open" to succeed, Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer said on Tuesday. However, he said, this may take place "in different ways and at different times", depending on the company.

Yeah right but you need to succeed before start teaching. Just take a look at your Zune "shake-head"

"And NO physical keyboard" comment mr BALLSmer?

youtube it he was mocking the iphone b4 it released and now look at him promoting a touch screen phone

freaking ms and their ways to try to put down the competition.. INNOVATE for once

Monkey5216306d ago

What does Steve Ballmer know about smart phones or successful handhelds? I'm not trying to attack the Zune, but it is not a success in any way. He has no grounds to attack the iPhone without a better or product of equal value on the market.

im lost aswell, M$ talking about being open????? what the hell is that??? They keep trying to stop Linux from taking over because of its open ways, so why are they now saying you need to be open???

to be honest, im actually suprised Ballmer even knows what open means...

Theoneneo816306d ago

Hey ballmer why not worry bout making a solid operating system that isnt Crap than worry bout apple.

DJ6306d ago

Stop attacking the competition and LEARN from them for once. The Zune could've been a lot more popular if it had a better name, marketing, and collaborations with leisure spots like Starbucks and Borders.

And don't even get me started on Windows and Xbox. MSNBC was right. The management over at Microsoft thinks way too highly of themselves.

Kaneda6305d ago

I don't think M$ knows how to learn. They know how to copy.

What a greedy, fat, bald, ill-tempered hypocrite.

Probably down to the high cost of gaming. Controllers and racing wheels can cost as much as consoles.

This is why there will always be competition in gaming. The possibilities to make huge profits is just too enticing.

Pokémon Go Championship Winner Title Revoked for ‘Unsportsmanlike Conduct’

The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.

How is that unsportsmanlike conduct? What a stupid decision lol

gold_drake48d ago

lol wut.

since when is bumping fists "unsportsmanlike".

Inverno47d ago

There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.

SethNW47d ago

Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
