Dvorak is a professional village idiot, and has been
entirely  
irrelevant for two decades. I should remind you of
some of his  
previous choice bits:

  I concur. Dvorak is a professional idiot (but I
would suggest worldwide, rather than just village
;-)).  I haven't wasted anytime reading PCMag rags for
years, thank goodness (very high noise (ads, bias,
etc.) to signal ratio).

  But unfortunately, he does indeed have a lot of sway
over politicians, academics, etc.  Let's hope the
balance swings in favour of the OLPC eventually, as
the xo now spreads around the world.
