I first heard that line from my friend, John H. Play around with the emphasis for a bit to get the real import of that phrase.
I thought of John and his quote when the internet meme was makings its rounds this week saying that a Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer had fired an employee because he wouldn’t say Bing! with enough enthusiasm. (Bing is Microsoft’s search product.) It’s since been shown to be a clever hoax. But I’m always in the mood for a laugh. Here’s that video.
Ex-Microsoft employee remembers the last sound he heard at Microsoft: Bing!
For those of you who wonder how a meme like this gets legs, Steve Ballmer has a history of being…enthusiastic.
