Dvorak Says Apple Move to Intel Will Harm Linux
Deep Fried Geekboy writes "John C. Dvorak is pretty quick off the blocks with a response to the news that Apple intend to switch to Intel processors. Thankfully, he doesn't gloat about having called this one correctly, but says that the move is likely to hurt Linux, as OSS developers increasingly target the Mac. Since it now turns out that Dvorak was apparently not smoking crack when he predicted the Apple move, could he be right on this one too?"

He also said the Internet would crash.
But even I know that Dvorak is an idiot. Like the cliche says, "Even a stopped clock is right twice a day."
Forget the whales - save the babies.
...predict that Apple was going to move to Itanium?
People listen to him because he has an amazing grasp and understanding of the computer industry. He was able to call this one years ago. Indeed, he was correct.

It will. Trust me. I'm from Russia.
So ya'll better get ready when the K'zinti swoop down and eat us all later this afternoon.
Hey, wasn't I right about that Sun thingy?
I'd go into the professional psychic business, if it weren't for being infested with ethics.

He is just one of those people that spouts off all the time. He was bound hit one one eventually.
My ex-wife had an uncle that was into local politics. He would do something stupid shortly before election day so people would remember his name. Of course they couldn't remember why they remembered his name, but that didn't seem to matter much. Once he was found half naked and passed out drunk in his car that was parked in a grocery store parking lot. He won that election too!
I know what the Internet is, what the hell is this Interweb business?!

Ever tried putting a PowerBook next to, let's say, Dell laptop and just looking at it ?
"Hey, it's missing the right mouse button."
