Video: Microsoft's Ballmer pelted with eggs


Microsoft's chief executive, Steve Ballmer, narrowly avoided getting egg on his face on Monday when a furious Hungarian student began pelting him with missiles during a lecture at a university in Budapest. Hungarian news reports suggested that the student was upset that the country's government has awarded a contract to Microsoft to provide software and IT training to local professionals under a program called Titan.

In the video the student is congratulated by fellow students, one of they holding a Mac iBook. It is probably the Mac's fault.
