Cringely on the Mac Book Air

pbs.org

It's amazing that Cringely can be so consistently off the mark about everything to such a wild degree and still have a column that people link to.

I still find it interesting to read, when taken with a large grain of salt.

cringely gets a lot of things wrong, but i always enjoy his vision. he's not so good at ferreting out what's going on in the tech world right now, but i think he'd be much better at inventing new parts of it.

my attitude when reading his columns: "this might not be true, but wouldn't it be cool if it was?"

As someone with a different opinion on the events he covered in his nerds book, I thought Cringely's own story of his failed attempt to build a working airplane in a month is his best work.
