John C. Dvorak , you old crusty battlewagon , it ’s time to manoeuver back to port for decommissioning . His a la mode wobbling dead reckoning is fired across the bow of Podcasting , the RSS and MP3 combo that lots of people are using to broadcast music and talk shows to portable audio gimmick — not just iPods , as Dvorak blubbers . Not only does he bar it to the domain of those persnickety Macintosh users ( “ And while Macheads will huff and puff about Windows and how much better the Mac is , they are always wrong . ” ) despite that fact that that majority of Podcast listeners use Windows computer software on Windows machines on Windows iPods , he goes on to trash the Podcasting concept solely on the basis that he does n’t wish the content that he downloaded . Wow , bullseye .
While it ’s sport to call mass cunts — trust me , I know — go forth it Dvorak to take something that is entirely platform agnostical and turn it into another stupid Apple vs. Microsoft debate , trying to talk trash about a individual choice out of the already astray - ranging programs that Podcasting embracement . Classy stubble man , dude , peculiarly when you bail out decently at the destruction of the article and say “ podcasting does place upright a chance of becoming popular . ”
All it does it firmly convince me that Podcasting does have a futurity , just like most technology do when Dvorak ca n’t fail through a simple user interface long enough to in reality compute them out .
Would anybody care to hear a Gizmodo podcast ? I could probably verbalise for 10 minutes just about Dvorak ’s ma and her centipedes — it would be just as fair and incisive .
I ’m serious about the Podcast matter , too . If you ’re interested , send me an email and let me live .
