Backup Brain's Dori Smith obviously had fun eviscerating John Dvorak's latest anti-Macintosh diatribe. She points out glaring problems with Dvoraks first two sentences, which is all you need to know to realize that Dvorak's column is a joke.
Dvorak: "The Mac platform is essentially stagnant. That becomes obvious when you look at the declining market share numbers — not from research firms, but from the W3C, which monitors online activity."
Smith: "[Those statistics] show that the number of Mac users online (or at least visiting the W3 Schools site) has gone from 1.8% in March 2003 to 2.3% in December 2003 to 2.7% in December 2004. But noting that the number is increasing would completely destroy Dvorak's premise, so he doesn't mention it."
