How can someone this clueless get a job writing for tech magazines?
John Dvorak is talking about the Apple versus Apple lawsuit: the Beatles versus Apple computer. Here’s his solution:

In an effort to save the money, though, I would suggest that the company change its name for good. Offer a million dollars to the public-at-large in […]

Astute observers of sparkplug9.com will have noticed that Zoomclouds, announced with such frisson merely a week ago, is toast.

I’ve been thinking about business blogging lately.
