Cyrus already mentioned Dvorak’s latest crazy mumblings. The fact is that this latest dreck is classic trolling. He wrote this piece with a singular purpose: get people riled up. There’s nothing interesting or insightful about the piece. He uses the supposed email from a psychology professor (odd, considering trolling is a psychological phenomenon, a lame attempt at getting attention) as a mechanism to avoid the natural conclusion that he’s only doing this for more attention. But I digress.
The sad thing is, he’s accomplished his goal. Sure, everyone sees that he’s full of bs, but they’re giving him the attention he wanted. That’s not to detract from great rebuttals like the one on Mac DevCenter) and the very funny one on the Apple Blog. While we’re speaking of humor, Nitrozac and Shaggy always fail to disappoint. Ultimately though, the only way to really deal with Dvorak is to ignore him. This is only fueling him.
(And yes, I see the irony of writing this and giving him yet more attention.)

This dude makes me feel all special on the inside.
I couldn't agree more. I stopped reading Dvorak's articles long ago --he's an idiot. And yes --all he wants is attention, being "enciting" discussion by provoking both sides with the most stupid opinions. Just ignore him, he's like the old senile grampa nobody pays attention anymore...
