Oh Your God! John C. Dvorak is Using a Mac and Liking It.

John C. Dvorak, in his latest PC Magazine column reveals that he is using a Mac and liking it. This somehow reminds me of the current Trojan Condoms ad, a pig got wings.

Dvorak is perceived as an Apple and Mac basher for a long time. As a regular on Leo Laporte’s “This Week in Tech” Podcast, Dvorak often made crazy comments on both Apple and Macs. For example, Dvorak said in one column that Apple was planning to abandon Mac OS X in favor of Microsoft Windows. (link will be added later)

I found the article from Mac SuperFan Site MacDailyNews to be amusing.

Anyway, to quote Bender The Great:

“OH YOUR GOD!”

p.s. Can’t wait for new Futurama episodes/movies.

It was pretty fun today at Leo Laporte’s Radio Show Chat Room. For the last 90 minutes of the show, people in the chat room kept typing “Buy an iPhone” as the solutions to any problems.

  • Windows failed Genuine (dis)Advantage test? Get an iPhone, problem is solved.
  • Having trouble burning CD/DVD? Buy an iPhone, it will burn the discs for you.
  • Apple Mail not sending in Rich Text Format? iPhone will send all your emails in Rich Text Format.

Close to the end of the show, Leo actually repeated what the people in the chat room were saying. “Get an iPhone”.

Anyway, catch it on Show 364 podcast.
