He's right to be cranky about some stuff in an aggregate. I got 18 months out of the ipad that I bought before it stopped being able to run new apps. 18 months! Less than the time it takes to make two twins in utero.

Yeah Dvorak was one of those guys never invited to Apple events. I'm not sure why he ended up on Steve Jobs' list, probably for something he did while editor of an Apple magazine back in the early days. Jobs like some bitter old woman with his handwritten shitlists and his goddamn turtlenecks.

Anyway, if there were Hookers at Microsoft, Bill Gates would have known about it. The entire time Gates was at Microsoft, if you were to try and phone in to the switchboard at 3 AM, and then patiently let it ring, you were guaranteed to get Gates, sitting in his office. He always worked late at night, and would always eventually answer the phone. Steve Gibson revealed this years later on his podcast. Gates would always happily answer answer technical questions (and buzz in the hookers).
