    He worked for Microsoft briefly back when Microsoft was cool and he was willing to stand up at talk. As Woody Allen said, "Eighty percent of life is showing up" Apart from that I agree -- never really paid attention to what he wrote because what I did read wasn't insightful or useful.

    Indeed, I wrote this three days ago: "Since he appeared on the scene I have always wondered, how in an environment where engineers take pride for what they have actually done (US tech world), a guy that only talks and has no engineering accomplishment to show is given that much cognitive space. Back when he was a Microsoft evangelist (!) I have watched a few videos of him to get the sense of a talking human being. And I could't believe how shallow he was. His whole demeanor was one of an airhead." To add to that, and get back on the topic, how can someone who has not writen a lot of code or designed significant hardware consult someone? And companies are obviously willing to pay him. What a world!
