Steve Ballmer – the Wifi pirate:

“I was in a hotel in Sun Valley last week that was not wired,” Ballmer recalls. “So I turned on my PC, and XP tells me there is a wireless network available. So I connect to something called Mountaineer.

“Well, I don’t know what that is. But I VPN into Microsoft. It worked! I don’t know whose broadband I used,” he chuckles. “I didn’t see it in Bill’s room. I called him up and said, ‘Hey, come over to my room.’ So soon everyone is there and connecting to the Internet through my room.”
