[Steve Jobs] Information Wars

    - One two Three. Let's run! - commanded the "Stevie."

    "Stevie" - that’s how, after MacWorld, Phil Schiller called his commander.

    Crossing from the bush to the bush, hiding behind the foliage, the companions finally lurked near the improvised outpost.

    “There is nothing to think here,” Jobs stated looking through binoculars. “We need to go around behind.

    - Or maybe right ahead? - I tried to protest the "debutant" of MacWorld.

    - Not. "Bald" sits on a pine tree. And the bespectacled "grazes" the gate. Just like in the movies about the war. - With a twinkle in his eyes, “Stevie” said excitedly.

    Phil understood that today would be not just revenge, but the punishment of “unbelievers.” I recalled last year and hurtful phrases by Steve Ballmer (Microsoft CEO). "Like, the iPhone is the most expensive phone, and it is unlikely to have a future." He tightened his grip on the handle of the machine.

    The matter was “trifling” - to wave through the mountain, and there - through the swamps. One thing is scary - the “Commander” can get sick, but Phil always had a reserve for this case: clean dry socks, a cure for all illnesses - the Soviet Zvezdochka (the best warming ointment in the world) and a thermos of hot raspberry tea.

    At the crossroads, they noticed two silhouettes that ran across. “Really we are gone” - a similar thought flashed by both. But without a fight, they obviously would not have been given. With a cry of "iPhone", they rushed to meet. Running closer, they discerned in the "strangers" representatives of the HTC company - Peter Chow and Cher Wong.

    “Apple, and what are you doing here?” - said the one below.

    Phil Schiller understood that according to the type of activity, he should distinguish between the founder and chairman of HTC, but in these circumstances it was all the same.

    “We are, as always,” Jobs continued looking at his comrade, “behind Gates and his retinue.”

    - And we are looking for Palm'ovtsev. Have you seen Ed Colligan? - Asked all the same "shorty."

    - Rumors go, they say, the model released, which will overtake the iPhone. We don’t believe in it, but we don’t doubt that it will exceed our Diamond. I would like to make adjustments, so to speak ... - said the second.

    Phil Schiller just wanted to say that they were the first to come across, but Jobs interrupted him, pointing with his hand to the slope, he whispered: "Hold southeast, they were hiding in a large cave."

    Thanking, the "eastern people" rushed to the side shown by Steve.

    “But we have not seen anyone!” - trying to convince the "boss", said Schiller.

    - You didn’t see it, but last year I woke up a bear there when hunting: I barely took my legs. Let them run too - these Asians are too impudent, - the fighting comrade answered with an accelerating step.

    Going around another stone ridge, they got to their destination. Unsuspecting Ballmer and Gates stood before them. Jobs identified the victims with a gesture of a "seasoned" commando. Phil got Gates. Slowly approaching so as not to frighten away the “victim”, he did not notice a dry branch, which with a special bang “rang out” in the air. Gates, a moment turned around and shouted - "Ambush!" and immediately began to go down the rope (which he prepared "just in case"). And no matter how Phil was aiming, he had never managed to give Gates a “gift”.

    Steve Ballmer was less fortunate: while he was turning around, he managed to get two “shells” in the back and one in the leg, which led to a fall on the foliage.

    “That's it, don't shoot everything,” the gene shouted. director of the “windows” - “Your paintball in the bathhouse, I can’t do this anymore,” continued breathing, “No, so that in a simple way the black PR will be poured on each other, butchery, damn them.

    “But there is a contract, a contract,” Jobs said coolly.

    The next morning, in an interview with the Financial Times, Steve Ballmer admitted that the iPhone has become more popular not only because it has fallen in price by almost half (USA), and also, in terms of the number of Internet requests made with the iPhone - they exceed The number of queries made from Windows Mobile and BlackBerry devices combined. At the same time, the global indicator reaches 10%. Steve Ballmer also noted that Microsoft, for some unknown reason, freezes the planned release of Zune Phone for some time.
