Steve Jobs and Michael Dell to fight to the death

The event that many people in the computer world thought was inevitable will finally take place. While the date has not yet been set, Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer, and Michael Dell, CEO of Dell Computer, plan to take place in a Mortal Kombat style fight to the death.
Tensions between Dell and Jobs have been running high since Dell made comments in a Business Week interview which said Apple’s proprietary technology will be its cause of death.
“I’m just sick of his mouth,” said Jobs after making the offer. “The guy can put together a PC. Whoop dee doo! Let’s see how he does with a samuri sword.”
“I’m not really worried,” responded Dell after accepting the challenge. “I’m sure Steve will back down long before the match. He’ll be so heartbroken once Apple goes out of business just like Silicon Graphics.”
When informed that Silicon Graphics was still in business, Dell said “Excuse me,” and walked into another room where screaming was heard shortly after.
Jobs says he learned a lot of different fighting techniques while spending time in the eastern part of the world. “Oh, you name it,” says Jobs. “Jutitsu, Tae Kwon Doe, Judo, karate. I’m a one man army.”
“There’s no way Jobs can win,” according to a recent article on c|net News. “We believe (Disney CEO) Michael Eisner will step in and takeover for Jobs just before the match begins.”
Eisner had no comment.
