Microsoft tried to buy out Nintendo. Nintendo's CEO didn't like it very much and decided to teach Steve Ballmer a lesson

I have to say, that's not very diplomatic of him...

To be honest, he seems like a bit of racist, nationalistic fuck, especially with all that WWII shit.

Damned straight. MS had better stay away from Nintendo.

Huh. No wonder Nintendo's been going down the crapper lately. They've got a retarded guy running things over there.

Reminds me of the temper tantrums Henry Ford would throw when his executives suggested they upgrade his Model T.

Ha ha har

Too bad it's fake.

And Yamauchi's not the CEO of Nintendo no more. Satoru Iwata is.

According to that, it's true, not fake...

And yeah, he's not CEO, he waited till he was retired to tell people about that

Respect for Nintendo++

I'm willing to bet that this is fake, but if it's true...

Or, more recently, of Steve Jobs' temper tantrums he's been known to throw. Just ask ATi; they dared to announce one of their new Mac products as being bundled in new Power Macs before Teh Steve could at a MacWorld Keynote, so he cut them out of the speech entirely.

Oh, he's just exuberant.

('Course, I don't know what sort of point you're trying to make.)

Oh, no kidding. Stevie can really throw fits.

It may have been a rumor or a fake, but I recall reading someplace that when the info on the iMac G4 was leaked a few months ahead of the release he got so mad he destroyed one of the test models.

Ah missed it. Still, that article only quotes it midway though. It could still be true, and the writer of the fake article snuck in some truthful tidbits. After all, if you're going to make up a fake interview, include some truth to make it believable, right?
