Who does John Romero think he is, and why would he want to be that person? I mean, is he consciously self-absorbed in an ironically postmodern ultra-materialist sort of way, or just a total dick?
Romero is relishing his pumped-up status. "When I drive this car," he says, "people know who I am." He chafes at waiting for a table for half an hour at a crowded Dallas lunch spot. ("If they knew I was here, we wouldn't have to wait."). He imagines his reception in Japan, where he's never been but where his games are huge. "I'd probably get mobbed by Japanese chicks," he says.
Why is it that every time Linux replaces another version of Unix, it gets described as a great blow to NT? Growing by cannibalizing the Unix market is not the same thing as growing by taking market share from NT.
...deserves special demerit points for still having virtually nobody offering DSL or cable modems. Millions of people in the few square miles covered by Manhattan alone, and you can't get services that are available in some godforsaken suburban mallrat nest elsewhere. It's enough to make me move to Dayton. Just kidding. Obviously.
I thought Corel was betting the farm on Linux this year, having lost the back forty when they bet that on Java a couple of years ago. So why did they sell the Netwinder business?

I just have to ask: what are "unfriendly buttons"?
