And why not? Is there any reason for this comment to not appear?

If Bill Gates made a predication about computing, no matter what the predication says, you can bet that 640K memory quote would be mentioned in the comment section (even he didn't actually say that).

Which is fortunate, considering how asinine it is in 2026 to expect that none of the items listed will be accomplished in the next 3.9 years.

I think it’s for good reason. I’m a bit at a loss as to why every time this guy rages into the ether of his blog it’s considered newsworthy. Celebrity driven tech news is just so tiresome. Marcus was surpassed by others in the field and now he’s basically a professional heckler on a university payroll. I wish people could just be happy for the success of others instead of fuming about how so and so is a billionaire and they are not.
