procrastinating until the last responsible moment can require discipline but it helps ensure you are making the most informed, wisest decision.

sometimes people are unable to see the difference between reflection, consideration and procrastination, which can make this technique difficult to apply in some situations.

Balmer Vows to Kill Google 766

Posted by Zonk on Saturday September 03, 2005 @08:05AM from the it-would-be-hard-to-kill-a-corporate-entity dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Probably due to the Microsoft suit against Google over human resources, some very heated exchanges have turned up in some court documents. Microsoft CEO Steve Balmer has apparently vowed to kill Internet search leader Google, according to documents filed in the increasingly bitter battle between the rivals." From the article: "At some point in the conversation, Mr. Ballmer said: 'Just tell me it's not Google,'' Lucovosky said in his statement. Lucovosky replied that he was joining Google. 'At that point, Mr. Ballmer picked up a chair and threw it across the room hitting a table in his office,' Lucovosky recounted, adding that Ballmer then launched into a tirade about Google CEO Eric Schmidt. 'I'm going to f***ing bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I'm going to f***ing kill Google.' Schmidt previously worked for Sun Microsystems and was the CEO of Novell."
