Ballmer Bans Team from Using Apple Products

[iamgine]

I LOLed at "most have Windows phones"

I would have thought they have Android phones.

clipper players have windows phones? Who da **** has windows phones?
I guess this means apple will be sponsoring the Lakers soon unless they suck again this year...

There's no question that he can do that with team-issued and owned merchandise but does he have the right to make a player stop using something they own privately? The limit of it would probably be banning them from team facilities.

From the other story that I read on this it sounded more tongue and cheek. Doc says, "We'll probably have to get rid of these iPads." Something to that effect, which Steve replies something like, "I promise I'll do it during the off season to not interfere with the team."

Those aren't the exact quotes but what I got from their comments. Then controversy.

I like this guy

i thought only white girls and wannabe djs used apple products?

Not that I give a flying f*ck either way (it's a phone they all do the same thing), but the Apple Store in my neck of the woods is always like 100x busier than the sad Windows outlet store, which is really nice but has like 3 people in it at a time.

Only hipsters and teen girls use Apple products anyway.

only people that never had an iphone think this way

they justify themselves for owning a shitty android

Windows Phones and Surface are crap, in before trade request.

Considering Apple has admitted their is a backdoor in their IOS (which they say isn't for the NSA, lol) and the recent hack of their iCloud to get those nude celeb pics along with the fact their products since Steve Jobs died have been crap (latest being the iPhone 6 that bends in your pocket... lol, what!?!?!) it's not a big surprise a Microsoft guru doesn't want those things around his 2 billion dollar investment. Whole countries have banned the iPhone because of the ability of the NSA to get data from Apple about anyone who uses an iPhone any time they want.
Couple of articles about the back door into your iDevices, many more if you google it.

It's not a surprise players are using smartphones with Windows on them, any advisor with any tech knowledge would recommend a phone with Windows for anyone concerned about securing their digital identity.

Bullshit. The nude pics is most likely viral. Or a Cloud exploit that could very easily be off a windows OS PC.

Advisors recommending a certain phone brand are either paid by that brand or stupid. The best advice with technology is "don't be a ****ing idiot".

It's lke when people claimed Macintosh couldn't get viruses. Demagogy. No one used Macs so no virus were deveoloped for he plataform. Now that everyone uses iOS, there's plenty of market for exploits. If Windows Phones where half as popular as iPhones, they'd have the same amount of shit.

Even then, you're basing all this off the nude pics which I insist, is most likely part of a viral campaign.

Ballmer rips iPhone, "It may sell very well."

Oops.

LOL clearly someone who's never used WP 8.1, takes a giant dump all over iOS and Android in every way shape and form. Not to mention WP 8.1 phones, especially the new range Nokias(insane amount of out-of-the-box features, even the cheap ones) are destroying everyone else in sales.


Don't talk about things you don't know about.. (it makes you look stupid).

[ralph_i_el]

if i was on the clippers i would request a trade immediately

no way in hell im ditching my iphone for some poverty android

You would have an iphone
Children smh

IPhone is constantly behind windows and android. I've finally finished converting to no-apple products myself. Wasn't too hard since they all fall apart after 2 years.

[chocolatethunder]

I better not see any Beats then.

I hope not either because those are the worst headphones you could ever own. They are all hype and sound like shit. People who shell out money for those things are morons. They are high dollar, low fidelity but great at marketing. Ask any producer studio musician, audiophile and they will tell you the same thing.

[Le Shaqtus]

What are the chances they get bent out of shape?

hehehehehehehehe
