Goodbye Mac?

An interesting web page on the possible demise of the Apple Mac:

Very amusing. Dvorak, the author of this piece, was continually predicting the demise of the Macintosh for many years. He continued to do this long after the "iPod halo effect" had kicked in and started to increase Mac sales. This article is an example of his continuing idiocy. Now that Apple have announced a move to Intel processors he's predicting that Apple will rise and take over the world. He continually proves himself over and over again to not have a clue about how the computer industry really works. Still, stories that declare that the sky is falling in on Apple give reassurance to Windows using suckers I suppose. Good for a laugh, but don't take this guy seriously.

OK, so someone (Steve?) didn't appreciate this story too much. In a similar vein, and to rock another of Steve's boats, how about this:
