Steve Ballmer told the folks at Yahoo they have three weeks to take his offer or else. One wonders what he was thinking. But then that is a frequent question.
Think of other Ballmer quotes:
1) Monkey Boy - He came to a Microsoft meeting and acted like he has had a bit too much coffee that morning. (Or that he might just be a moron.) This is a classic on the web. Were it only one instance one might think it was an unreasonable portrayal. But it is not.
2) Zune sales figures. Ballmer thought the company would have a hit with Zune. About a year ago the Zune was projected to hit 1 million units in sales. It seems to be lagging a bit.
3) iPhone sales - Ballmer argued a couple of months before the iPhone went on sale - ""There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance."
Ultimately, the Yahoo people have said they will not reject an offer out of hand but it has to be at the right price. Perhaps they might offer to take over Microsoft. No they have some pretty good and innovative projects and their development cycle is about one tenth the time it took to develop Vista.
