Reading Microsoft Style: The Book on a Personal Computer

October 10, 2009

Short honk: When I spotted the title “Ballmer: Books Should Be Read the Way They Were Meant to Be — on a PC”, I assumed this was an Onion spoof. A closer inspection revealed that the article was serious. I thought books were meant to be read they way they have been for several hundred years: ink on paper. Nope. Here is the quote that surprised me:

“We have a device for reading. It’s the most popular device in the world. It’s the PC,” Ballmer said.

I wonder what the device for search is.
