Okay, this just makes me cringe. Someone actually remixed Steve Ballmer’s stunt.
Steve Ballmer is Microsoft’s Chief Executive Officer – er no, Bill Gates is not the CEO – and is famous for his shocking behavior during one of Microsoft’s conference. Yes, we all know he loves the company.
Watch the remixed version of Steve Ballmer’s behavior.

I have got lots and lots of spam in my email account but I don’t think I can ever beat Gates. He’s a winner in yet another field!
Bill Gates Gets 4 Million E-Mails a Day
Bill Gates might not use AOL, but he’s definitely got mail. The Microsoft Corp. chairman receives millions of Internet messages a day, said Steve Ballmer, the company’s chief executive. “Bill literally receives 4 million pieces of e-mail per day, most of it spam,” Ballmer said Thursday.
Spam or junk e-mails are unsolicited messages, generally advertising goods or services and usually sent to many e-mail accounts simultaneously.
Ballmer said Microsoft has special technology that just filters spam intended for Gates. In addition, several Microsoft employees are dedicated to ensuring that nothing unwanted gets into his inbox.
“Literally there’s a whole department almost that takes care of it,” he said.
Ballmer was in Singapore for the company’s Government Leader’s forum, which ends Friday.

My email is spammed, my blog is spammed too. Somehow, the steps I have made to ensure spam doesn’t come in still doesn’t work. I’m trying another method soon. It is proposed by.. Okay I don’t remember who that is. But anyway, it goes something like that:
Include an hidden field called, e.g. ‘ilovetohatespam’, then put a value as, e.g. ‘yeahilovetohateittoo’. During which the summission of a new comment, the comments script will check if such a hidden field called ‘ilovetohatespam’ with a value of ‘yeahilovetohateittoo’ is present, if both conditions satisfy [actually you only need 1], the comment is allowed to be submitted. However, spamming bots can’t get past this due to the ignorance of the hidden field’s presence. That’d work right I think. Got this suggestion from WordPress forums, pretty good suggestion, and I would never have thought of this.
