Marlon Thompson I can understand that.  For me that's part of what I enjoy in watching TWiT.  Casual conversation about the week in tech.  When Baratunde Thurston and Brian Brushwood  are on the panel together the banter is fun to watch especially when it gets political.  Sometimes I enjoy the off the rails back and forth.

I also enjoyed the conversation between Baratunde Thurston and Brian Brushwood - it's great to hear sound opinions on different views. I watch TWiT for the various views and if I solely news facts I can watch TNT. I often get tired of the slated opinions on arguments, so it's great to hear diversity and opposing views.

James, near the beginning of the show John C explains how he got into the click-bait business and claims to have invented it. He has been working that angle his whole tech-writing career and is unapologetic because it paid so well.

 

I have read enough "contrarians" in my time to not pass judgement on how they make their living.

 

Brushwood was in good form taking the tech implications to a higher level. Most of the time I see him on TWiT he's elevating the scope of the news or discussion but sometimes he explores the conspiracy stuff with hilarious results.

You know, I don't think they'd have to build a Turing-complete bot to replace Dvorak.  All they'd have to do is have a bot respond "That's crap" and "It's a scam" once in a while...

 

I like the cranky old dude, though.  The younger guys need to have Dvorak there pulling them back.  The stats about 6 months of PC sales outselling the entire run of iPad was fascinating--on TWiT, the message tends to be that the PC is DEAD and that they've been REPLACED with tablets and phones.  Hey, kids, won't it be fun using Excel on a phone?  Won't it be fun typing on an on-screen keyboard?
