The all-singing all-dancing Pogue

David Pogue. Is there nothing the man cannot do? Write books, blogs and articles? Host TV shows, cure cancer and establish world peace? In this clip from a recent Mac user group presentation, he sings his own takes on many popular standards including "Don't cry for me, Cupertino", "76 Trombones do Tech Support" and "Dude, You Bought a Dell". If there ever were plans for "Mac: The Musical", they should totally tap him for the lyricist.

Warning: There is '70's music. You may want to keep small children and pets away.

Why is it so difficult for some to accept sapience and talent? Pogue has an abundance of both...

He's like Mark Russell -- but sans bow tie and funny.

The point, Quix, is that a reporter should be objective, not a cheerleader. He's over the deep end.

This video was taken at Glouchester County Community College, NJ two years ago as 5 UGs came together to sponsor the event. David received a musical education and worked on Broadway before switching occupations. He's also an accomplished magician.

"Annoying to be around"??? Not at all; he's one of the most down to earth guys (and devoted family man) you could ever meet.

"I emailed him once and complained about his pro-Apple bias."

And for every Pogue, there are a dozen journalists with an anti-Apple bias. What's your point?

He's like every annoying Ivy Leaguer who thinks their crap is so high-brow. Like the boys on 'Wait, wait, don't tell me' - the NPR show. They love themselves the way Pogue does and are so sure about how clever they are.

I emailed him once and complained about his pro-Apple bias. He sent back a list of like 100 things where he mildly criticized Apple. He must hear it a lot to have the list ready.

I'll bet Mr. Pogue is a Tom Lehrer fan too.

Pogue is an annoying dufus and biased Apple reporter.

For those who might not know, David was a musical theater geek before he was a Mac geek. On a related note, so was I! ;)
