The Macalope Weekly: A bad joke

28.07.2012
A curmudgeon, a professor and a troll walk into a bar ...

... and the rest of us leave because . Be warned, the amount of crazy coming from these three is classified as weapons-grade by The Hague and is restricted from international trade. John Dvorak is just doing what John Dvorak has done since he was fashioned from clay at the dawn of the computer age, but these other guys--a college professor and the CEO of a stock-tracking site--the Macalope's not sure what their excuse is.

The Macalope knows he shouldn't, but he was drawn into another John C. Dvorak honeytrap of doom--only this time, he came out more concerned for the man than worried about the things he said about Apple.

Writing for PC Magazine (no link for him, as you know), John purports to take a look at the convergence of phones and tablets into what people are nauseatingly calling "phablets."

It's hard to call out a fad so early, but the trendy 7-inch tablet has all the earmarks of one.
