Clippers Owner Steve Ballmer Discusses His Technology Essentials, Use Of Twitter

Clippers Owner Steve Ballmer was profiled in the WALL STREET JOURNAL as a part of the "My Tech Essentials" feature. Here are Ballmer’s tech habits:

  • "I don't have a laptop, just my Surface Pro 4 tablet." 
  • "I spend between 60 and 90 minutes, probably six days a week, on the elliptical watching Xbox Video or Netflix." 
  • "I get NBA news and political news off Twitter. [The Vertical's] Adrian Wojnarowski is one of my favorites. He's got good scoops. I'm primarily a reader on Twitter. I used to tweet about the Clippers a lot, but I wasn't saying enough interesting things, so I stopped tweeting as regularly."
  • "My PXG 0311 irons are a high-tech addition to my life. They are the coolest damn golf clubs."
  • "We're kind of in love with the Amazon Echo in our kitchen. It's far more valuable than I ever thought it would be" (WALL STREET JOURNAL, 4/11).
