Hey Clark- As I thought about it over the past couple of hours it slowly dawned on me that I've heard him discussed here before, but I'd never read anything by him. When I stumbled upon these articles I was a little stunned. can assure you I'm not "worrying" over him, and if this guy is old news to everyone here but me, sorry for filling the thread with this junk.

Nutballs Anonymous, << Qveau - What is the point in worrying about people like Orlowski? >> Right Clark. Andrew is simply an IT journalist (former editor of ZD UK) that knows more about definable high level and low level operating systems than any IT journalist writing today and certainly more than I know or you know. Hopefully you read his recent interview with Colly Myers and some of the stuff he has written along the way about Benoit Schillings (now CTO of Openwave). << or the Stanford professor or Tero or ... >> Hopefully that Stanford professor was not one of your mentors there. Good old Tero, the former lab rat who escaped the SI ghetto a long time ago and is off at the beginning of the year to a London posting for one of the most respected research houses in the world after a 1½ year stint in the city of all cities for that same agency ... ... but then again, we have pseodo-experts on everything right here, so why would we want to listen to people that know something about something when our self proclaimed experts know everything about everything and are "generally right," so far as they are concerned. As AO would put it when he receives letters or e-mails from some of the finest of these individuals: "To give you a flavor of Qualcomm's nutball fringe, let us introduce you do one correspondent who billed himself as "Supreme Dragonlord" aka one Mr Evan Coyle Maloney, who gave us three paragraphs of apparent coherent argument before delivering a warning not to "enslave yourselves to creeping socialism!!!". ... Qualcomm's barmy army of loyal headbangers is truly in a class of its own. ... Now, not all Qualcomm defenders belong to right-wing militia groups, but a weirdly disproportionate number would seem to qualify. There's an interesting debate about how fringe technologies (such as CDMA) attract nutters, and how nutters are drawn to fringe technologies (such as CDMA), but it's one best left to another place, and more qualified psychologists than us." - Andrew Orlowski - This [below] from a recent post by a "generally right" graduate (I assume) of an American Law School (which embarrasses me and should embarrass him and his alma mata) in a recent post to AO: "If anyone wants to speak to Mr. Orlowski about his brain diarrhea ... You know, the horseshit ... The same horseshit ... The horseshit ... The horseshit ... recall the horseshit ... You need to see a doctor about that penis envy thing, dear boy. " What a great contribution to the wireless boards. Hopefully this inspires Andrew (in San Fran or London) to expand on the "Supreme Dragonlord" theme. There was a time that you were (IMO) one of the best and most reputable regular contributors to these wirless boards. I hope that someday you will be again Best, - Eric -
