Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer asked to sign an Apple notebook


Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer was a good sport recently when he agreed to sign a student's Apple notebook computer at Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville. Lots of tech websites got a chuckle out of the video. (See TechFlash report.) But the truth is, the relationship between Microsoft and Apple is much more complicated than it was in the early days of the PC. Microsoft does a good business selling Office productivity software for Macs. Microsoft also is reportedly in talks to get its Bing search engine installed as the default on Apple iPhones and Macs.
So while Microsoft and Apple may compete, they also are partners.

SNL slams the iPhone


Is Apple’s reality distortion field starting to wear off for the iPhone?
Apple’s popular smart phone has been hammered for its poor 3G wireless coverage in commercials by Verizon attacking AT&T. Those ads certainly have tarnished the iPhone’s image. Here’s a sample ad, where the iPhone is relegated to the Island of Misfit Toys from “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.”
On Dec. 19, “Saturday Night Live” took a swing at the iPhone in its Weekend Update segment. Check it out up top.
