Do you have a source for this? I've seen this repeated but nobody can ever produce any evidence.

It was all over twitter, I don't know if its still there, but this guy is a performance artist

I don't think he's a bozo; but every technology needs a contrarian, to keep the technologists from spinning too much hype.

I thought that contrarian was Jaron Lanier.
