Moron of the Day: Newsweek
Yeah, that Internet thing will never take off.
...
Hah. The whole article is similarly hilarious in its complete and utter fail.

Do our computer pundits lack all common sense? The truth in no online database will replace your daily newspaper, no CD-ROM can take the place of a competent teacher and no computer network will change the way government works.
...
Try reading a book on disc. At best, it's an unpleasant chore: the myopic glow of a clunky computer replaces the friendly pages of a book. And you can't tote that laptop to the beach. Yet Nicholas Negroponte, director of the MIT Media Lab, predicts that we'll soon buy books and newspapers straight over the Intenet. Uh, sure.
Hah. The whole article is similarly hilarious in its complete and utter fail.

Written in 95. But it's always teh funneh to see folks predict the future, then once that time rolls around, read what they predicted. But yeah, this guy comes across like some dude in 1910 predicting that this "horseless carriage nonsense" will never replace the good old reliable horse.

To steal a quote,
I've told Orville and I've told Wilbur and now I'm telling you, that thing'll never fly.

I e-mailed this to Ace a couple weeks ago; I don't think he posted it. This I can excuse, but no Mega Shark attack on a plane post? Inexcusable.

Reminds me of those NFL commercials where they show people talking smack prior to the season:
Saints? They're going nowhere, fast.
Favre? He's washed up. They'll yank him by the third game.

Funny thing is Favre is washed up. But then he was never really that good anyway, his defense always had to bail out his interception-throwing ass. He won what one SuperBowl? BFD. That overrated mofo isn't worth the dog shit I scraped off my shoe this morning. The only good he's done was sucking bad enough that my Jets were able to draft "Filthy" Sanchez.
