John C Dvorak most infamous people on the Internet. John also makes the top ten infamous people compiled By Christopher Null, PC World, October 2, 2009 and has 9 other people including Robert Scoble and Michael Arrington. This is what Christopher wrote about John:
As hoary old sacred cows go, none are closer to "downer" cattle than the venerable John C. Dvorak, who has been expounding on computers since before computers were invented. Dvorak's official bio claims that the man has written more than 4000 articles, a number that seems small in view of his omnipresence.
Beneath those millions of words, Dvorak has buried just about every company and product in the industry, often (nay, usually) with wild prematurity. He famously declared the iPhone a disaster months before Apple released it; and more recently he pronounced Windows 7 to be a total mess, using a forced march of 1,000 words to redeploy his argument from a comparison of Windows 7 to OS/2 to a diatribe against the Windows Registry. It's bad enough that people keep giving Dvorak outlets to complain in print, but he also somehow keeps persuading people to put him on TV — or at least on Web video.
His most noteworthy video endeavour is Cranky Geeks, a show in which Dvorak invites three tech experts (I've appeared twice) to talk about current events in the industry, and then cuts them off and repeatedly changes the subject to something completely irrelevant and boring. Also: He had nothing at all to do with the Dvorak keyboard.
