Ballmer Egged In Budapest; Mac Plays Cameo

Below is the video making the rounds today of Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer getting berated and egged while trying to address students at a university in Budapest. Gizmodo says the guy’s complaint has something to do with a Microsoft deals with the university that in effect lock students into Windows.

Tell me I’m wrong, but as you watch the people sitting next to the egg-throwing stand up to let him out, there’s a guy wearing a read shirt who lifts up his own notebook in the process. Sure looks like a MacBook to me. Watch closely. Perhaps this person’s irritation with Microsoft presents an opportunity. How about an Apple store in Budapest?
