Yeah.  But only (it seems) when he's bashing Microsoft, which he only does part-time.  He's easily the world's most successful internet troll.

Granted, he's quite the personality on TwIT. ;)

I don't think the man really writes what he believes will happen, it looks like he writes what he can write some about, and sometime's it's interesting.

"Hm, what will I write about today? Apple are switching to Intel chips - maybe there's a hidden agenda? Maybe they wanna use MICROSOFT'S operating system, hm, I can actually think of some points to that. "

a poem by my computer, Macintosh Vigilante
Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant. Why does a winter audience delay macintosh? The maker tosses macintosh. Beneath female suffers a double scum. How will a rat cube the heavier cricket? Macintosh calls a method. Can macintosh nest opposite the headache? Macintosh ties the wrong fairy. When can macintosh stem the land gang? Female aborts underneath macintosh. Inside macintosh waffles female. Next to macintosh worries a well.
