NBA Clippers' Ballmer: No More iPads

New LA Clippers basketball team owner Steve Ballmer is bringing in a little bit of Microsoft to the sports team, telling Reuters yesterday that he's ditching the use of Apple's iPads, in favor of products from Microsoft. That's no surprise, given Ballmer's fortunes are linked so closely with the company he once helmed. Ballmer is Microsoft's largest shareholder, and owns around 4 percent of the company. Now, all Ballmer will have to do is train the team and sportcasters from stop calling the Microsoft Surface and iPad--and issue that Microsoft has been fighting over at the NFL.
