I’m not making this up. See here. The churro is a phallus. The leather is a hint at S&M. The two dudes leaving the mall together — you get the idea.
You know what? I’m starting to admire Dvorak. Yes, he’s totally out of his mind. Yes, he wear Depends. But he always manages to come up with something that will drive traffic. The guy’s a survivor.
Namaste, Old Man. I bow to the place where your creepy dreams about Bill Gates become one with the public’s imagination.
Free fake new iPod to anyone who can Photoshop an image of Dvorak as a leather boy. With or without a churro.
Is that his picture on that site? Why don’t you have a wacky photo of you on Newsweek’s site?
Or is the photo of you in the print version, thus making us buy the magazine in order to see it? I’ll have to scrounge up some of my campaign money to see if I can afford one. FSJ would have given me free early editions of it though.

Man, that article is just weird s**t. You are correct, Dvorak has lost it.
Or is it that Dvorak is gay and just letting everyone know through his projection onto the new Microsoft/Seinfeld ad campaign?
Are we talking “gay” from the fin de siecle period or are we talking “gay” from, erm, Y2K fin de siecle?
This is just weird
))) What is happening to bloggers/columnists of yesteryear? Are they out of their minds? I came across Jerry Pournelle’s web page the other day. No wonder “Byte” went down. At our manor, we love Jerry and all, but his columns and posts are just a bit odd.
With all money and technology being thrown around, aging seems to still represent a challenge. You can keep a body looking younger but brain is just non-renewable, especially if it is not exercised regularly. This is a hint to Dvorak. Tech. columnists used to actually know something worth reading but today, with google sh!t everywhere, all that counts is sensational reporting of nothing, page views, page grabs and who’s-your-daddy innuendo.
That’s why we liked FSJ. He was a literary man, not afraid of his darker side.
“But he always manages to come up with something that will drive traffic”.
Look who’s talking, Dan!
This is the bit I like:
Perhaps it is a parody of the “Mac versus PC” ads, which may have homoerotic overtones that nobody has considered, and this is Microsoft’s way of asking, “What’s with those two guys, anyway?”
Well I’m surprised real Dvorak has not taken the opportunity to share his thoughts on the sex lives of these machine proxies before, but I guess at this rate it won’t be long before we learn more.
Wow!
Except the name of the writer, everything about this post *screams* FSJ!
I know you’ve gone to the Apple event, I saw your photo on gizmodo liveblog.
See for yourself that RSJ has returned to top health and don the persona of FSJ ASAP!!!
“But he always manages to come up with something that will drive traffic. The guy’s a survivor.”
So true.
He’s even written an article on how he baits Mac-users to draw the flames which drive hits.
What’s really sad is to try listening to his “Tech 5″ podcasts = “the most important 5-minutes of your day”… in which he just rattles-off the headlines from the Google News Sci/Tech page.
Yeah, we want to see Mac vs. PC ads with Paris and… Maggie Thatcher?
Good to see you back to gargling with Drano before you do your column instead of that wimpy minty stuff, Dear Inquisitor !
ooooooh … what the blog-o-sphere would love to do to dvorak & scoble, with a churro …. {shudder!}
