I agree with both of these sentiments. A friend of mine constantly forwards me
Cringley's monologues and I'm contantly surprised by how little actual insight
(or research for that matter) is contained in his articles. I'll give him
this, he is a very good trend spotter and a good writer. I am reminded of this
quote
Everything journalists say is accurate unless it involves a field I know
something about. -
As for patents and XML, I can't help but feel that this is indeed the tip of
the iceberg. After all, what most of us do with XML is simply reimplement old
technology with our favorite new buzzword. It's just a matter of time before
more companies claim that simnply XMLizing some technology in an area they
have patents is a no-no.

No matter how well it would perform, I will never construct any sort of
machinery which is completely indestructible except for one small and
virtually inaccessible vulnerable spot.
