About the Book

"What to make of this ranting gasbag named Metcalfe? Turn up the filters, tune in, and listen. You may not like the way he phrases it, but he's actually got some very important things to say and he isn't afraid to say them." ? Vint Cerf Bob Metcalfe is the Internet's resident gadfly and reigning pundit ? a renowned inventor (Ethernet) and entrepreneur (3Com) whose weekly InfoWorld columns skewer pretensions, assault the conventional wisdom, and spit roast sacred cows. This book collects the best of Metcalfe's polemics, predictions, and pronouncements over the last decade ? and pairs them with no-holds-barred rebuttals and commentary by industry heavyweights. The result is vintage Metcalfe: provocative, inflammatory, and insightful. Just a few of Bob Metcalfe's pronouncements over the years... 1991 "Microsoft is abusing its monopoly" 1993 "Wireless computing will flop ? permanently" 1994 "What the Internet needs now is more competition among greedy entrepreneurs" 1995 "I predict the Internet's catastrophic collapse in 1996" 1996 "Everything on the Internet should be strongly encrypted all the time" 1997 "E-postage is a good thing" 1998 "The skunk is, like Microsoft, an exquisite survival machine" 1999 "Linux will fizzle against Windows" www.infoworld.com/metcalfe www.idgbooks.com

About the Author :
Bob Metcalfe fathered the Internet -- just kidding, Vint -- starting in 1970 at MIT, Harvard, and Xerox PARC. He invented Ethernet in 1973 and founded 3Com Corporation in 1979. He is vice president of technology at the International Data Group and has written his weekly InfoWorld column since 1992. "Bob Metcalfe is a unique American inventor and entrepreneur who also turns out to be a supreme wit and gifted author." -- George Gilder
