if you took the time to go find that other link, you should have taken the time to read the comments there. Ballmer didn’t use a laptop at all for his presentation that mac was sitting there from the two previous speakers

that “streak of lightness” is from the light singing on the podium from above the stage. this pictures is obviously not fake.

I have worked at large-scale presentations like this and the presenters never use anything as basic as a laptop on stage.

All presenters have is a remote clicker, and all that clicker does is alert the Stage Manager that a slide change is probably necessary. I say “probably’ because many presenters click by mistake, and the SM is there to check that it’s genuine.

If this is so, the SM presses his own clicker that signifies to the people at the back (I was one) to advance the presentation. There are usually two of us in case one of the desktops craps out. Never happened yet.

Quite often the stage crew will have a laptop and will leave it on stage, as happened here. You can have the stage full of laptops, and not one will be being used.

So dream on.

Artem.
No one is blindly ripping of links of Digg. It might be discredited by other Digg users. Well Done Digg users.. No one at MUO is claiming that this is 100% true . The fact that image was taken from this angle still makes it worth publishing on MUO’s Tech – Fun section.

Come on, MUF, stop blindly ripping links off digg, especially days after they're posted. And especially this one, which was discredited, as it's not Steve's laptop at all, it's one of the other non-MS presenters'. http://digg.com/apple/What_laptop_does_Steve_Ballmer_use_for_his_presentations

He could have at least covered it up with a sticker or something. If you work for a company, don’t advertise the competition!
