"Robert X. Cringely", the former back-of-the-book Infoworld magazine columnist, is one of the most interesting and insightful observers of the online/computer "scene". The author of Accidental Empires: How the Boys of Silicon Valley Make Their Millions, Battle Foreign Competition, and Still Can't Get a Date (and the host of the PBS show based on the book), his "Pulpit" column is a must-read. The archive is worth your time to catch up with earlier columns. I just wish he had an e-mail subscription option.

Customer Review: Overall this book is great.
Could have been better if it had a different approach to how the text is constructed. It's like having a very informal talk with someone that's been on the IT industry for so long.
