imageAs CEO of Microsoft, Steve Ballmer was famous for over-the-top enthusiasm. Now he’s brought that same passion to the N.B.A. — and to a pet project called USAFacts, which performs a sort of fiscal colonoscopy on the American government.

Steve answers questions about:

  • his creation of the $10M http://usafacts.org
  • the decisions behind Microsoft’s mobile phone strategy & his thoughts today on Apple’s iPhone
  • his purchase of the Clippers basketball team
  • and more.
