Ten Worst Laptops of All Time According
to Dvorak 08/03/2004 02:32 PM

Dvorak gets all bloggy about the '10 Worst Laptops of All Time,' asking for readers to chime in with more information about the products he thinks he might of once seen (if he could only remember the name or model number). And for as fuzzy as his memory is about which product he's actually talking about is, he sure does remember when Salon magazine made fun of him five years ago just fine. Article highlight: Saying that the Number One Worst Laptop "could also easily appear on the ten-best list." Wouldn't that make it, I dunno, more like a Number Five, or maybe Number One Thousand?

Dori Smith debunks Dvorak's anti-Mac
column 12/29/2004 02:36 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: Backup Brain's Dori Smith obviously had fun eviscerating John Dvorak's latest anti-Macintosh diatribe. She points out glaring problems with Dvoraks first two sentences, which is all you need to know to realize that Dvorak's column is a joke.

Dvorak: "The Mac platform is essentially stagnant. That becomes obvious when you look at the declining market share numbers -- not from research firms, but from the W3C, which monitors online activity."

Smith: "[Those statistics] show that the number of Mac users online (or at least visiting the W3 Schools site) has gone from 1.8% in March 2003 to 2.3% in December 2003 to 2.7% in December 2004. But noting that the number is increasing would completely destroy Dvorak's premise, so he doesn't mention it." Link (Via Scoble)

The Worst of Both Worlds

The Worst of Both Worlds 03/06/2004 02:06 AM
The DC Circuit Court of Appeals has overturned significant portions of the FCC's Triennial Review order from last year.  So, essentially, we now have FCC Chairman Powell's policies for today's networks, and Commissioner Kevin Martin's policies for tomorrow's.  This makes things even worse than before.

The best argument one could make for the majority's decision was that UNE-P would foster some competitive entry in the absence of line-sharing (which Powell wanted to keep) and open fiber networks.  The best argument for Powell's view (which I reluctantly supported) was that the broadband fight was what really mattered, so we can afford to let UNE-P die.  For now, at least, the DC Circuit has given us the worst of both worlds.

A Group Is Its Own Worst Enemy

A Group Is Its Own Worst Enemy 01/07/2004 02:54 PM
(This essay is a lightly edited version of a talk, "A Group Is Its Own Worst Enemy", about persistent patterns in the design and operation of large-scale and long-lived online groups. I gave this talk at the O'Reilly Emerging Tech conference in April of 2003.) This talk is in three parts. The best explanation I have found for the kinds of things that happen when groups of humans interact is psychological research that predates the Internet, so the first part is going to be about W.R. Bion's research, which I will talk about in a moment, research that I believe explains how and why a group is its own worst enemy. The second part is: Why now? What's going on now that makes this worth thinking about? I think we're seeing a revolution in social software in the current environment that's really interesting. And third, I want to identify some things, about half a dozen things, in fact, that I think are core to any software that supports larger, long-lived groups. - More at http://www.shirky.com/writings/group_enemy.html

I'm sick as a dog again — my second cold-y/flu-y thing in two weeks — and was being kept awake by the sound of my own mucus (hey, you asked!), so I turned on the TV at 4:30 this morning. And I'm so glad I did! I may have stumbled on the worst movie ever. Is there anything worse than a really bad pot-head movie, one that takes drugs to make the jokes funny? Head, starring the Monkees and written by Jack Nicholson was my old favorite bad pot-head movie. But it's been rudely elbowed aside by Pandemonium, a film...
