This guy is multi talented, but most of all a good tech reporter & writer. He's also a nice guy. Love his "Missing Manual" series.

After reading the first poster, I thought the song was going to be really stupid.

After listening to the song, however: (1) the song was funny & clever, (2) I now suspect Pogue of being funny and clever too, and (3) I suspect Andrei of being an adolescent who doesn't know how to respond to anything except by calling names. Andrei, I hope you're no older than 12; otherwise, your development is retarded. Along with the rest of you.

David Pogue needs to off himself in a remote area of south america so that we never, ever see or hear of him again.

I wonder if he composed it on GarageBand? :)

This is so fucking embarrassing.

The song was smart and funny and he has decent piano skills, and assuming he wrote it himself, a good ear for satirical lyrics. He also made the audience laugh and his "homecoming" connection with Evita was really rather clever. He also sang in tune.

Hardly embarrassing.

Nice one.
