John C. Dvorak doesn't know what the heck he's talking about. Like the last TwiT and his assertions regarding the possibility of a YouTube buy-out by Google [which has happened] but he's the only one on the show to be so certain about what he thinks. I admit I enjoy listening to TwiT but Dvorak is hard to swallow sometimes, being so sure he's right in an industry where things change overnight and companies buy or sell depending on what they are offered.

No wonder he gets dissed as much as he does on Slashdot. It is still entertaining to listen to him though.

Of course, please show due paranoia when taking this in as it might be disinformation. Not the article as much as the names inserted in the list. And what the hell is up with racial/ethnical profiling on campaign donors? Will they refuse a few hundred thou from someone just because he's a Rromas, for example? It is also quite amusing to see how 'Muslim' was listed as a race.
