Not a real story, but relevant nonetheless:
Microsoft's Future Former CEO Throws Tables During Interview
,----[ Quote ]
| "I was shocked to the point that I passed a wee bit of a toot. It made me
| feel not-so-fresh for the remainder of the interview," Blanston recalled.
|
| When asked about his choice of internet platforms, Ballmer mentioned that the
| browser came pre-loaded on his Dell Laptop and he couldn't figure out how to
| uninstall it, change the homepage, or find where IE was.
|
| Realizing the conundrum he was in after Blanston snickered, Ballmer quickly
| became "overly emotional, like a chick I used to date" according to the
| interviewer. "He told me to shut the hell up or he'd 'beat my hippie ass'."
|
| Ballmer has described Blanston's account of the incident as a "gross
| exaggeration of what actually took place."

Timely:
Behavior May Suggest We're Not Only Human
,----[ Quote ]
| When Emory University primatologist Frans de Waal read a news story that
| said Microsoft's chief executive, Steve Ballmer, had hurled a chair
| across the room on hearing an employee was going to work for rival
| Google, the scientist immediately made a connection with his own
| research: "When I see such behavior, I think of a chimpanzee."
