Far from reaching or even intending to reach the level of the Gizmodo CES prank, I enjoyed a couple of seconds of naughtiness yesterday morning when attending Microsoftâ’s “Heroes Happen Here” event.
I attended the opening keynote by Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft, famous for his gaffes and sweaty armpits, and only brought one thing with me: A manilla envelope (I am sure you can guess what’s coming).
I was lucky enough to find an empty seat at the fourth row, and sat there, surrounded by people wearing proudly their MS colors.
Just before the keynote started, as I wanted to take some note (and eventually blog anything of interest), the same way they do it in the commercial, I opened the manilla envelope, extracted my little MacBook Air and booted it, under a flack of raised eyebrows, disapprobation looks and ushered comments.
I know, it’s silly, but it simply made my day!
sweeeeeeet
