Jobs: The PC is a truck. Ballmer: There’s a reason they’re called ‘Mac’ trucks. (Engadget)
After Steve Jobs suggested that the fate of PCs would be to end up like trucks in a future where the iPad represents the car, Steve Ballmer used his D8 interview to engage in a little wordplay: “Well, there may be a reason why they call them ‘Mac’ trucks!” Geez, Ballmer, who writes your material, George Costanza?
