   The really cheesy part is when they call Google "Gaggle, or gargle, or something silly" (i'm paraphrasing).

Most of the stuff he mentions is based off of things that had already started when he wrote it (the MS antitrust investigation, the Google start, the fact that Compaq had already bought somebody else, so they'd be looking to capitalize on it, etc.). Neat, but not amazing.
