The Macalope Weekly: Cherished delusions

07.07.2012
Two pieces by John Dvorak in two weeks? The Macalope knows it's asking a lot of you, but load up on antacids and read on about his latest fever dreams. It's been almost a year since Joe Wilcox said he was leaving Apple and he's still figuring out whose CDs are whose. But he's got a whole new myopic reason for the breakup! Finally, is the iPad mini real? Those wacky Apple rumor sites the and Bloomberg say "Yes!"

Last Saturday, how Buzzblog's Paul McNamara coaxed a bitter, self-serving email out of John C. Dvorak (well, really, how hard could that be?) by asking him to explain how he could be so wrong about the iPhone five years ago.

As amusing as that was, it seems to have made John nostalgic for the good ol' days when he trolled Apple fans with abandon.

Dvorak's latest poke in the eye of Apple fans is "Giddyup, Apple!" (it's over at if you're feeling particularly masochistic) and is subtitled "The company is strolling like Microsoft when it should be sprinting like Adobe."

Sprinting like the company that spent a couple of years telling us how Flash was the "real web." .
