Quote of the Year

“But my complaints are meaningless in the grand scheme of things.” – John C. Dvorak, PC Magazine]

1. [airship]

   Man, that’s only a step or two away from Dvorak realizing that ALL of the things he says are meaningless, whether taken in context of the grand scheme of things or not.

2. [dculberson]

   Complaining that people discuss phones “as if it were a great piece of literature to be deconstructed.” Well, how many man-hours go into a phone versus a book?
   

3. [aTanguay]

   That is the definition of an epiphany.

   Bravo John, you’ve taken a bold first step.

4. [Anonymous]

   Whatever. I like John, he’s seen a lot of tech come and go, and he doesn’t get wound up like a fanboy. TWIT wouldn’t be as good w/o him as a counter balance.

   • [Joel Johnson]

     He is charming on TWIT. Or at least he was when I used to listen to it. (I’m off podcasts for no particular reason lately.) But he’s often horribly, laughably misguided — and worse, he often takes the contrary position just because he seems to feel that it’s worthwhile so long as it perpetuates discussion. That’s not dialectic, though. That’s sophistry.

5. [Halloween Jack]

   You don’t say. Next revelation: Apple, not so beleaguered after all.

6. [dculberson]

   ‘course, he totally did call the Apple switch to Intel. I guess he just said it for long enough that it finally came true.
