I, Cringely
Kot velja Roger Ebert za št. 1 med filmskimi kritiki, tako je Robert X. Cringely prvi pisec digitalne tehnologije. Kogar ta zanima, naj ne izpusti nobenega njegovega zapisa:
Njegov današnji esej mi je še posebej dal misliti zaradi pred-predzadnjega odstavka:
- Every one of those iPods is a bootable drive. What if Apple introduces OS 10.5, its next super-duper operating system release, and at the same time starts loading FOR FREE the current operating system version — OS 10.4 — on every new iPod in a version that runs on generic Intel boxes? What if they also make 10.4 a free download through the iTunes Music Store?
Ideja je naravnost SCARY (za Microsoft), ni? Adijo Windows.

P.S. “Jest” me je v komentarju spomnil na tridelno nanizanko Triumph of the Nerds, ja, res je odlična.
