From MacDailyNews:

Enderle writes, “Ballmer is a master salesman.”

Well we are on fair warning with the statement “Enderle writes….” but I love the follow-up quip from MacDailyNews:

MacDailyNews Take: Oh, really? Ballmer can’t seem to sell products outside of his company’s monopoly-backed core areas: Windows and Office. Okay, he does sell game consoles that don’t work and costs billions to be fixed, but he hardly dominates even that market, either. Monopoly-backed products don’t require much, if any, sales effort. Anything else that this “master salesman” tries to sell, doesn’t sell very well: Zune, search, online music… he can’t even sell Windows Vista with a monopoly in place! Steve Ballmer isn’t a master salesman. Steve Ballmer is a master at getting a lucky dorm assignment, parlaying it into billions of dollars, eventually getting a CEO position for which he is woefully unprepared, and turing out mediocre or worse products that increasing tech literate consumers simply aren’t buying.

It’s official, MacHEADS website is launching this Wednesday May 5th!

Well I am assuming that they meant Wednesday May 7th, considering that the 5th (when they posted this entry) was Monday.

But are we really ready to go mainstream?

That is a good question. I am not sure of the answer.

And for the cultic image of the day:
