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.'"

    How does it feel to be such a fucking useless human being?

    What kind of retard uses words like "M$" and "Windoze" anyway?

    You are the reason people think linux is for geeks. They read your comments and don't want to be associated with total retards like yourself.

    Do yourself, and linux, a favour and stop the anti-windows rants. You simply look like a child.

      "You simply look like a child."

      Is that why you told me you want to, and I quote, "rape his mouth"? Faggot.

    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?!

    In what way exactly is that ridiculous? Typical Fox viewer response: kneejerk and completely lacking in any depth.

    ...Or are you making the assertion that Fox News is merely broadcasting impartial, dispassionate news?

    He is everything that is wrong with linux zealots.

    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.
