RE: Gilder Tech Report. You'd have to pay me to read this crap.
A relative sent me printouts of three of his "reports". They are positively painful to read. It's like he read someone else's reports; didn't understand them; and then wrote his with the same conclusions.
There are whole paragraphs that make no sense at all. Take this example from "The Opto-Investors' Ball"
As the intensity of the light rises -- as more and more photons of traffic flash through the webs of glass and air -- the overall frequency or average color of the light inches up the spectrum. Thus, the global iridescence changes its dominant hues. If it were a rainbow, the center of intensity would move up from red through green towards violet. If it were a meteor, the Doppler blue shift of the Internet would suggest it is hurling toward you at lightspeed. That is a good analogy to keep in mind.
But then, in the middle of this crap, he puts in parrenthetical remarks that almost have to come from someone else, such as (because at higher frequencies, there is more available bandwidth to carry more information per second).
He "name-drops" high-tech terms like he thinks this will impress his readers. He even makes up words. He refers to JDSU as making "microcosmic" devices.
I'll leave you with this "thought" to ponder, if you want to subscribe to this charlatan: "The real new integrated circuit, however, is the net itself, integrated not on silicon slivers but across mostly silicon continents and seabeds, a global seine of silica that can capture all the glittering profits in the ball of radience." |
