Budapest Technical University, yesterday, M$ head Steve Ballmer speaks:

From another camera angle:

The attacker says in very bad English (but probably not worse than mine...): "Hey, You! Microsoft has caused 25 billion Forint [€100 million] damage to the Hungarian people. Give the money back! Right now!"

(Of course, all others who came to see Ballmer have another view, and you can hear their outrage in the second video.)

Regarding very bad English...

Microsoft's Ballmer attacked by egg-tosser | InfoWorld | News | 2008-05-19 | By John Fontana, Network World

Despite the attacker mostly speaking in Hungarian, at one point he begins talking in English and is heard to say: "...to the Hungarian people, give that money back, right now."

"Mostly speaking in Hungarian", LOL...

And somewhere in Cupertino, Steve Jobs spit his coffee out laughing this morning.

Ballmer didn't throw a chair at the kid, did he?

for holding events without the paranoia industry and letting harmless insurgency run its course. The public reacted normally and the insurgent removed himself like a responsible citizen.  

I wish Ballmer learned a lesson and thanked Hungary, because in a US university, just that, could have become a tragedy, since the automatons always assume there are weapons involved.
