Enderle schadenfreude

Enderle I now have a new daily stop for the humor I so desperately need, Rob Enderle’s blog. As bad as life may get, at least I can say I’m not Enderle. We’ve basically stopped reporting the moronic ramblings that spew from his mouth with the regularity of Old Faithful, but I just can’t resist this. He’s concluded Apple is rotting “from the inside out” (and thank you Rob for yet another Apple pun, please stop hurting us).

I started this week thinking about Apple killing off Think Secret and actually threatening the income and family - during the Christmas season, mind you - of the highly visible Forbes reporter who pens the very popular Fake Steve Jobs blog. This changed the whole tone of my piece, which was to focus on products and now will question Steve Jobs’ sanity; I wonder if people on his staff are setting him up for the kind of coup that could get him removed, much like he removed his predecessors.

Of course, the entry in question was a joke, though it took several days for him to figure it out. Takes a bit to sink in apparently. If you take financial advice from this man, I feel sorry for you.

There is something just so deliciously ironic about Enderle accusing Steve Jobs of being insane because he couldn’t recognize parody on a parody website. Mmmmm, irony.

FYI "schandenfreude" is spelled incorrectly. It should be "schadenfreude."

Hope this helps.
