How do I get to babble incoherently and have the press quote me?

Or even better, pay me? Clearly some people have figured out how to do this:

Consumers will be able to purchase the software in the United States for 129 dollars and in Europe for 129 euros.

Jupiter Research analyst Joe Wilcox said Tiger puts Apple ahead of Microsoft in technology for PC operating systems.

[ Apple's "Tiger" aims to take a bite out of Microsoft, "Longhorn" - Yahoo! News ]

Exactly how am I going to run Tiger on my Wintel boxes? Or does Joe think I am ready to sell or dump all of my Windows based infrastructure and buy all apples for everything. This may make Apples increase in sales due to it being a more attractive purchase than previously, but their market share is so tiny that Microsoft won't be worried about Tiger at all.

Linux advocates, however, should be worried...

Maybe they're finally releasing OS X for x86 ... a scoop! ;)

THe new MAC OS was front page news here in the Bay Area, so much so that my column today (http://www.nwfusion.com/columnists/2005/050205kearns.html) is about it. My "fan mail" is not running in agreement with my sentiments. (e.g., "Youre clearly an idiot who misses the point. If actually compare Wincrap XP to Mac OS X, then you should be hung for stupidity and banned from writing moronic articles EVER!").

Mac people are not known for their intellect, competence, or use of language...

Now Kearns... I worked with you for 3 years, and I really could have sworn that you had achieved the whole "getting paid for babbling incoherently." So I guess you really just need to find a way for the press to start quoting you.

Oh man... burn... BURN!!!
