David Pogue pens a hilarious walk down memory lane with all those brilliant prognosticators who sagely predicted Apple’s imminent demise in the mid-1990s.
The Macalope’s only complaint: other than Microsoft’s Nathan Myhrvold , Pogue doesn’t name names. [Correction: he also mentions David Winer - so Microsoft and bloggers are fair game, but not journalists... hmm...]
Ah, the privileges of membership in the big media boys and girls club.
C’mon, Pogue! Bwaaak-buck-buck-buck-bwaaaaa!
That’s a chicken sound, in case you can’t tell.

This coming from a person who won’t even reveal their own identity… Lol.

The Macalope is really just yanking Pogue’s chain.
But, seriously, the Macalope is a human/Mac/antelope hybrid.
Which makes it really hard to shop for suits.

@Macalope
I thought you were just a Mac/antelope hybrid…
So was your mom half Mac and half human?

Don’t talk about the Macalope’s mother!
The Macalope’s mother is a saint!

[...] For the record, the Macalope likes David Pogue’s work, despite the fact that he - tongue firmly planted in his cheek - called Pogue a nasty name the other day. [...]
