Dvorak says Microsoft is dead in the water
What would a week be
without another proclamation from pundit John C. Dvorak? Okay, don't answer that. This week Dvorak has made one of his
most sweeping pronouncements: Microsoft, he says, is dead in the water, and in
his article at MarketWatch he ...
Dvorak: Apple needs to open source OS X
John C. Dvorak, who in his own words "got into various levels of trouble when [he] suggested that Apple was going to
gravitate towards Windows," now says that Apple's recent release of the unsupported Boot Camp for running
Windows on Intel ...
Dvorak says Apple to ditch OS X for Windows
John C. Dvorak has made a career out of posing novel hypotheses and occasionally surprising everyone (including,
one supposes, himself) by striking gold with an accurate one. This time Dvorak says he's convinced that Apple is going
to ditch its ...
Dvorak on Microsoft's "protection racket"
I can usually live with or without John Dvorak's editorials, but I think his most recent column, "The Microsoft Protection Racket," is fairly astute. He sums up Microsoft's "racket" in the first paragraph: "Does Microsoft ...
Dvorak rants about "rinky-dink" photo software
It doesn't take much to set off PC Mag's John C. Dvorak, and his latest
column is no exception. The venerable curmudgeon has set his sights on
photo-editing software, and bemoans what he considers the lack of
user-friendly ...
Excited about 128 bit "Windows 8"? Don't hold your breath.
I got a message yesterday directing me to some groundbreaking post on Ars Technica, in which the long-winded and storied tale of an in-development 128 bit version of Windows unfolded like something out of a geek spy novel.

Yelp: Social networking meets restaurant reviews
John C. Dvorak's latest column is about Yelp, a new site that combines social networking a la Friendster to restaurant and
business reviews a la Epinions. If you're looking for a restaurant you can see what others have recommended and their
ratings, ...
Should Microsoft buy Opera?
Last week I reported on rumors that Google might be buying
Opera. Those rumors have yet to pan out, but John C. Dvorak has some interesting ideas of his own about Opera's
destiny. He says that Microsoft
ought to buy Opera and ditch Internet Explorer, ...
Internet Explorer "Great Microsoft Blunder"?
Proving yet again that my opinion of John C. Dvorak is
bipolar at best, I must say that I kind of agree with his most recent column, in which he posits that nothing qualifies more as Microsoft's greatest blunder than
Internet Explorer. Browser wars ...
Windows Vista Beta 1 Wrap-up
Not surprisingly, wherever you turned today, the view was of Windows Vista. And while many sites ran the same wire reports over and over, some actually reviewed the product — something that I used to think was as verboten as a theater ...
Watch satellite images live with DistantSuns
DistantSuns does a lot more than this, but with Katrina making waves recently it makes sense to showcase this feature. The app DistantSuns is primarily designed for exploring the galaxy via software. It includes a killer screen saver that'll move you ...
Ghost of mouse control panels past
Feeling nostalgic for that GeoWorks Ensemble 2 mouse preferences GUI? Go back to the good old
days with this comprehensive gallery of mouse controls
at the Guidebook gallery. Guidebook has a lot more than mere mouse control panels though. How about ...

IBM to OS/2: "so long, and thanks for all the fish"
What a long, strange trip it's been. After years of slipping sales (ahem), IBM is finally killing off OS/2 Warp (and the server version). Hard to believe isn't it? Why just the other day I was checking my gmail in Netscape 4.61. I found an obit for ...
Palm close to sale, does this mean MS won the war?
Palm was once king of the mobile landscape. The Palm Pilot made reality what a decade of electronic organizers and ill-fated Apple Newtons never could; A practical handheld computer to store the junk from your head. Once Palm established the market ...
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
