/. on Cringely's latest blatherings

Sometimes, I think that the I, Cringely column is the National Enquirer of tech publications. I read whatever he's got to say this week. I laugh at how the guy is utterly incapable of stringing together a coherent argument. And then I move on.

A commenter over at /. got it right about Cringely in the /. thread about Cringely's blatherings:

"News of a potential merger between these two rumor-mongering blowhards has been bouncing around San Jose for some time," said a source close to the deal. "After exhausting the n(n-1) array of potential merger rumors between companies as diverse as Google, Microsoft, General Motors, and ElectroPeru, the state-owned energy monopoly of Peru, both realized the only remaining avenue for generating baseless headlines and crucial name recognition was to themselves merge." Industry analysts speculated the new entity would assume the name Jobert K. Cringvorak, and continue publishing factually-inaccurate, worthless gossip headlines twice weekly in IT trade magazines.
