Leaving Las Vegas (and not a moment too soon) news.com This from the gratuitous fear and loathing department, properly credited to Dr. Hunter S. Meanwhile, Gates's right-hand man, Steve "Bad Trip" Ballmer, was holding court after his boss's Sunday evening keynote. A dense knot of eager reporters, hanging like wet laundry on his every word, moved with him from one buffet table to another. The moving, noshing mediamoeba created an undulating, pulsating tableau reminiscent of a similar scene in Brazil, no doubt one of Hunter S.'s favorite flicks. (No coincidence that Brazil's director, ex-Monty Pythonian Terry Gilliam, is putting Fear and Loathing on film.) Based on Ballmer's handling of this group, I have no doubt that were he to encounter the bloodthirsty bats, manta rays wolverines, pterodactyls, and lizards that constantly swoop through the Thompsonesque Vegas landscape, he would herd them into a corner and force them to adopt NT 5.0. Hey, but not for another year or so. Or else we'll have bats and pterodactyls crashing down on us from all over the place. Cheers, Dan.
