Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer popped up on Twitter tonight, and, if this really is his account, it looks like it hasn't taken long for his loyalties to start shifting. Two out of his first four tweets have been sent from an iPhone.

Of course, there's every possibility this isn't actually his real account. But judging by the inaugural selfie, it looks like Ballmer might have some explaining to do.

Update 6:59am, 4/18: Looks like the account's been suspended now; guess it really was all too good to be true. However, Twitter user @ow seems to have pinned down the culprit, at least.
