CE-Oh no he didn't!: Steve Ballmer calls Dropbox 'a fine little startup'

Microsoft is no stranger to industry flak, but it's always better to give than to receive, right? Steve Ballmer thinks so, and in a recent Bloomberg interview, he took a second away from talking up the new Office 2013 to smite Dropbox, saying that the 100 million users it boasts "sounds like a pretty small number to me." He recovered slightly by adding "I'm not beating on Dropbox," only to follow it with the finishing blow: "They're a fine little startup and that's great." We doubt anyone else would call Dropbox a startup at this point, but Microsoft's chief can't be seen complimenting a SkyDrive rival now, can he? After having to defend the user stats for Redmond's Yammer, he was also quizzed on the undying native Office for iPad rumor, to which he had "nothing to say," apart from "we'll see what we see in the future." If these snippets aren't quite enough, then head to the source link for the full interview. Ballmer may be a little less shouty these days, but it's good to know he's still capable of delivering the odd high-caliber burn.

Is Your Addictive Needy Inner Child Killing Your Relationships?

Do you know that many people harbour an addictive needy inner child inside that is responsible for feelings of loneliness, the inability to be alone, feelings of immaturity, feelings of low self worth and self esteem, poor self confidence, manipulative and controlling behaviour patterns, envy, jealousy, addictive behaviours, the inability to care for one's self, the need to be taken care of and soothed by others, the need to be made to feel worthy, loved, wanted, special, important, validated, and secure just to name a few? Do you know this "inner child's" primary purpose is to hijack the person's conscious mind, life and leading you to imminent self sabotage? Do you know this is most commonly experienced in the person's relationship life where they find themselves becoming alienated, ostracized, shunned, hated, thus leaving this inner child even more "needy" and intensifying its control over the person's life? Finally, do you know there is now a way to permanently diffuse, in fact purge, this destructive negative force ending this cycle once and for all thereby giving you full control and ownership of your life back?
