Just because something is popular in the mainstream doesn't mean it's not bullshit. As far as calling himself a well paid, well educated troll; well, you can't take a tongue-in-cheek comment like that completely at face value.

Rather than calling his thinking on technology a crap shoot, I'd call it a brutally honest personal assessment. In the case of his supposed bullshit call on the mouse and ipad, I'd call him exactly correct.
