Web 2.0 Bubble May Be Worst Burst Yet 417
athloi writes with a link to an editorial by John Dvorak over at the PC Magazine site. Rather than his usual tilting at windmills, Dvorak turns his attention to possibility of another big internet economy 'pop': "Every single person working in the media today who experienced the dot-com bubble in 1999 to 2000 believes that we are going through the exact same process and can expect the exact same results — a bust. It's déjà vu all over again. Each succeeding bubble has been worse than its predecessor. Thus nobody is actually able to spot the cycle, since it just looks like a continuum. I can assure you that after this next collapse, nobody will think of the dot-com bubble as anything other than a prelude." It certainly seems like another burst is imminent; will this one be worse than the original, or have less of an impact?

Once again, Dvorak doesn't know what is happening or what people are doing with the Web.
I have never met anyone as consistently wrong as Dvorak.
How he hangs onto his job is beyond me.
Then again, I think anything he would actually write for is probably Rupert Murdoch style fish wrapper.
Yeah, John C. tell me again how Apple should be chopped up and sold off to enhance share-holder value.
You stupid cunt. Blinkered, Phillistine pig ignoramous.

Every time I see Dvorak, I think "Finally! Another article on the Dvorak keyboard layout! Perhaps we'll gain a few more converts!". Alas, woe is me, for it's just another article from that talking garden gnome.
Confidental to editors: let him sink to the bottom with the rest of the slag.

Sure, but AOL aren't really the good guys: the economic damage they did to the coaster industry was enough to send the world's stock markets into meltdown for years!

True, but be fair: the vast majority of Slashdotters aren't gonna read the article. So, no extra ad revenue for him!
(In Slashdot's defense: reading the article would be counterproductive.)
