Celebrities have been known to sign just about anything, including body parts, so should it really come as any surprise that one of the faces of Microsoft would scribble his name on a Mac? It shouldn't, and that's exactly what Steve Ballmer did.
A student from Trevecca Nazarene University asked Ballmer to autograph his laptop, which elicited a hearty laugh from Ballmer after he noticed it was a Mac.
"It's got Windows on it, I promise," the student quipped.
Like a good sport, Ballmer scrawled his name across the silver casing much to the delight of the onlookers, adding "Need a new one?"
How long until you think it shows up on Ebay?

People go nuts trying to customize their computers so they are unique. Getting a billionaire who wields tremendous corporate power to sign your laptop is definitely a good one. The irony of it being a mac running Windows puts it over the top. :)

Steve Balmer may be a wacko, but that's a Mac that I'd buy!
