Dvorak Looks Back At 'Another Crappy Tech Year'
twitter writes "The Vista Death Watch is PC Magazine's most popular column. That is just one of many items in Dvorak's review of yet another 'disappointing' year in Technology. 'I was not a fan of 2007. It was another crappy tech year--just the latest in a string of bad years dating back to 2000. Let's see some of the highlights and lowlights in no particular order ... The whopper for Intel, though, was its Viiv initiative, which was a dog from the get-go and was dropped--finally. Somewhere along the way, Intel bought into the Silicon Valley crock that CPUs were not important any more. What a laugh. Luckily for the company, it refocused on processor chips and found itself in the driver's seat once again. Of course, Intel will fall off the path again, of that you can be sure.'"
same reason "people" watch Fox news
cause its dramatic at times and is far removed from the truth
I tend to agree with Dvorak here. The last 10 years has pretty much been a fizzle of redesign but no real revolution. iPhone? Pfft. Google? Pfft. Doom3? Possibly. Hybrids? Pfft. VoIP? Hmmm. Ad Infinitum. Of course, I actually watched the moon landing (like him), so I'm probably jaded at this point. Where are my damn flying cars?!
I hope, when they die, cartoon characters have to answer for their sins.
At least he logs in, instead of posting as AC. The real problem here are the m$ zealots who either are too stupid to create a username for themselves.
