Steve Ballmer is known for some memorable moments on stage, and AT&T Mobility chief Ralph de la Vega was almost on the receiving end of one today as the boisterous Microsoft CEO took the stage at the wireless carrier’s event here this morning at the Consumer Electronics Show.

Ballmer concluded his remarks with a nod to one of his most memorable moments on stage, echoing his famous line: “There’s still only one clarion call that’s clear in my mind: Developers, developers, developers.”
