Dust??? You're calling chairs "dust"?
Spoutin' Off: Microsoft is more about dominance than quality
,----[ Quote ]
| One of these days, I hope to gain some insight into the mind of
| Steve Ballmer, the CEO of Microsoft. For years I've been trying
| to understand why these guys continue to pursue their goal of
| virtual global domination instead of just becoming a valued and
| trusted member of the greater wired community.
|
| [...]
|
| Their accusation could be what my old pal Ross Perot used to call
| "gorilla dust." This refers to the way a great ape will throw dirt
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| and debris into the air during a fight to try and distract his opponent.

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."
