Ballmer Kills Jobs

Now that's a headline that might get attention on the front of The National Enquirer. But we're talking lowercase j in the subtext, so the assumption right away is that it means job cuts at Microsoft.

But not all is as it seems, as the cuts might be just continuing on from the cuts the company announced last year.
