The Company We Love to Hate

Rick Ochoa pointed out Stick a Quark in It, which mentions a minor tussle at a Fred Ebrahimi spiel delivered in New York recently. Tony mentioned this in passing the other day. Apparently the audience wasn't just sitting there, taking their beating like good little consumers.

Indeed, these witnesses attest, audience questions about Mac OS X provoked an Ebrahimi tirade of Old Testament proportions: Quark’s Dear Leader told his squirming guests that "the Macintosh platform is shrinking," and that "publishing is dying." He suggested that anyone dissatisfied with Quark’s Mac commitment should "switch to something else," although he insisted that making the move to Adobe’s long-Carbonized InDesign package is "committing suicide."
