What so many folks never get is that the joy of John C. Dvorak is that he's a curmudgeon -- and in a world full of tech bloggers who fall under the spell the newest shinny object that's always a bit refreshing. Sort of having slightly bitter coffee with your sugar filled pastry. He makes a perfect foil for sunny Leo Laporte (which is why he is always a great guest on TWiT).

No, he's a troll: http://scripting.com/2006/06/09.html

edit: sorry arn, I was revising the post while you were writing yours. The scripting.com link above does have a link to the original .mov video, your Youtube link will likely have better compatibility with non-Mac users.

I find it moderately amusing that people are perfectly fine with saying "he's trolling, he's trolling, he's trolling" to the vast majority someone says, but then when that someone says "I am trolling", they jump to the "Oh, but HERE he's telling the truth!"

Yeah, I know, it's a lot easier to believe someone when they're agreeing with you.
