He doesn't have the balls to say that. Sorry.

The headline makes it sound like Facebook is now planning to buy Microsoft.

I suppose that might be an interesting scenario at some point...

Zuckerberg reportedly replied to Ballmer by saying "Why don’t we just buy you for $15 billion?”

The Telegraph article neowin links to says that Ballmer says that line to Zuckerberg, not the other way around. Just checked and other sites seem to be saying that same thing. That does make more sense, right?

if I read your comment correctly, you are saying it was Ballmer that said that line to Zuckerberg, which would make the neowin article line a misquote. Do you have alternative sources you can link?

No, you're a towel!

Facebook would have withered if acquired by MS because Ballmer wouldn't be able to shutup about it.
