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.

Wow! That guy is a goober. I'm sure he's a nice guy and all, but he seems rather annoying to be around.

It's amazing when you learn things about people you know, and hear about a lot, that you didn't know about them.
5 points to everyone who understands the real meaning of this confused little comment.

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! ;)

Pogue is an annoying dufus and biased Apple reporter.

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

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 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?

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.

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

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

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