"There is no evidence that people want to use these things."

- Dvorak 1984, on Apple's inclusion of a mouse with their computers.

Dvorak is the most blatant professional troll in computer journalism. He would have no career if not for pretending to be the complete idiot that he appears.

(Don't tell me he is genuinely that stupid.... is he?)

The man has clear mental problems. Nothing he writes should ever be taken seriously.

One thing that occurred to me, after reading it. Q: Who would pay five hundred dollars for an iPhone? A: All the trendy people who want to stay ahead of the Joneses.

It’s more or less common practice to price new gadgets very high, and then bring the price down after a while. I think that probably makes them more desirable. You can be the first person on your block to own one. And soon people will be saying, “Wow! $400 for an iPhone! Last month it was $500!”
