MC2 Post 1678 News of Ballmer leaving Microsoft Gives MS a Needed Market Pop



Adios Ballmer




After 33 years at Microsoft, Steve Ballmer announced today that he plans to retire from his position as CEO within the next 12 months. The surprise exit comes 13 years after Ballmer took over from Bill Gates as Microsoft's CEO in January 2000. He may have tripled revenues and doubled profits during his reign, but Ballmer is leaving to make way for a new devices and services strategy as the company continues to battle for market share in smartphones and tablets. Ballmer won't be around to see if Microsoft can finally crack the devices and hardware it's promising, so who will be?

'Star Wars Episode VII' to be shot on film, Not Digital


The new "Star Wars" movie directed by J.J. Abrams will be shot on good old-fashioned film, like the originals -- 
not the digital cameras used in Episodes I-III.
