CEO Astrology

by @ 10:25 am. Filed under Musings, Technology

macdailynews.com recently reported that Forbes has “chosen 10 of [their] favorite celebrity business moguls from the Forbes list of The World’s Billionaires and asked a professional astrologer to give us the lowdown”.

One can only ask why Forbes would pay for this. Must be a humor piece. Seriously though, isn’t there something better to write about?

Well, since I brought it up here’s who they picked:

* Amazon.com’s Chief Executive, Jefferey Bezos
* Chairman of Harpo, Oprah Winfrey
* Mayor of New York City, Michael Bloomberg
* Apple CEO, Steve Jobs
* Microsoft Chief Executive, Steve Ballmer
* Google Chief Executive, Eric Schmidt
* Chairman of Viacom, Sumner Redstone
* Founder of Virgin Group, Richard Branson
* Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffet
* Co-founder of Dreamworks, Steven Spielberg

Never ones to take ourselves to seriously, we here are vi411.org have to protest the exclusion of VMware CEO Diane Greene. Therefore, in the spirit of the Forbes’ article, we written our own astrological “lowdown” on Diane.

Chief Executive Officer,
VMware
Birthday: Unknown
Sign: Doesn’t Really Matter

New competetive technologies are developing at a rapid pace. However, VMware still holds onto their market share by maintaining it’s position as the true industry leader. Our “astrologer” says that “with Mercury’s ascention into Leo, Diane will experience rapid growth. Market growth that is.” Be careful though, Neptune is in retrograde, which means that you have emenies abound. As long as VMware stays focused on developing new technologies and doesn’t go into panic mode, they will be able to control the market for some time to come.

P.S. Bonus point to anyone who can tell me what Diane’s real sign is!

A few years back Michael Dell promised to start promoting Linux desktops, but Microsoft put the stop to that stating that PC builders should “meet demand, but not create demand” for Linux PCs.

However, is http://www.theregister.co.uk/ is reporting that Dell is openly advertising AMD64 based Linux Desktops in a Beijing subway.

According the the Register Article, it’s a Red Flag Linux OS.

Hopefully this means we’ll see some competition in the desktop market soon. Kudos to the Register for breaking this story!
