John Gruber destroys Dan Lyons
A brilliant piece by John Gruber of Daring Fireball utterly demoloshing the fool that is Dan Lyons. Now as opposed to other pundits like Rob Enderle and Scott Mortiz, Lyons actually has some intellect at his disposal. The thing is, Lyons has a personal axe to grind with Apple, a fact which often results in [...]

From Rob Enderle to Joe Wilcox, there’s unfortunately no shortage of misinformed and ill-reasoned tech pundits out on the web. Back in April, Macworld published some of the more asinine predictions and observations made about Apple in the 12 months preceding the iPad launch. It’s an entertaining read, and all your favorite pundits make the [...]

Monday, July 5, 2010
In the ongoing race to determine which tech pundit lacks the most brain cells, Rob Enderle and Scott Moritz are not surprisingly neck and neck. But seeing as we consistently give Enderle a tough time, we thought we’d give him a break and focus on the latest drivel spewing from the pen of the Moritz. [...]

Friday, June 25, 2010
Incapable tech pundits like John Dvorak and Rob Enderle love minimizing and dismissing Apple’s achievements as a byproduct of luck while simultaneously pumping up competing products from the likes of Microsoft and Dell that typically have little, if any, effect on the marketplace. But there’s only so long these pundits can tout a new iPod/iPhone killer [...]
Continue reading...Is Dan Lyons the best Newsweek can do?
Thursday, June 10, 2010
Newsweek tech writer Dan Lyons and Apple aren’t exactly the best of friends. Apple has given Lyons, who you might also know as the Fake Steve Jobs, absolutely no access to Apple since he assumed tech editing duties at the publication in 2008. In other words, Newsweek has never gotten a pre-release Apple product to [...]
Continue reading...Rob Enderle is a conspiratorial nutjob
Tuesday, June 1, 2010
There’s no denying that Rob Enderle lacks any semblance of intelligent thought when the topic turns to Apple. His track record of impressively atrocious predictions and illogical analyses is both extensive and well documented. In many ways, Enderle is sort of like a little kid. Every now and again he’ll say something ridiculous, and you [...]

Tuesday, April 20, 2010
We’ll have more on Gizmodo’s hipocracy in outing the Apple engineer who left his iPhone 4G at a bar, but quickly wanted to direct your attention to this bullshit post from Gizmodo editor Brian Lam advising Gray Powell to keep his head up. Hey man, I know things seem really tough right now. We had mixed [...]

MacGregor Campbell of NewScientist writes re: the video of the 2.5 year old girl playing with an iPad: She will grow up in a world in which screens that don’t react to touch seem broken, and devices that cannot be anything at any time to anybody will be annoying at best. She will expect virtual objects [...]

I can’t lie. I’m a little jealous of The Sreet’s Scot Moritz. Okay, I’ll be honest. I’m really jealous of Scott Moritz. Dude probably gets paid a lot of money to discuss things clearly above his pay grade, and no matter how idiotic, nonsensical, and incoherent his ramblings are, he has a perplexing amount of [...]

Monday, March 1, 2010
Rob Enderle likes to tout himself as an “inquiry analyst”, a seemingly made up title that he defines as an analyst “paid to stay up to date on current events and identify trends and either explain the trends or make suggestions, tactical and strategic, on how to best take advantage of them.” In his capacity as [...]

Monday, February 15, 2010
Hours after Google unleashed Google Buzz into the wild, tech pundit Jason Calacanis penned a moronic article claiming that Google Buzz is brilliant, ground-breaking, and “game-changing brilliant.” In classic Calacanis fashion, he lists out a number of ridiculous arguments in a feeble attempt to back up his assertion. 1. Google Buzz 1.0 is better than Facebook [...]

Mike Davidson takes talking head Jason Calacanis to task for using his large Twitter following to dupe his readers into thinking that he got his hands on Apple’s iPad before the device was actually announced. If you’re familiar with Calacanis, then you probably already know that he’ll stoop as low as he needs to go [...]
