An absolute, out and out Einstein. The 40 year old broadcaster has no talent, no decorum, no personality, no looks, no style, no charm and no knowledge of anything outside the vast universe that is his ego. Yet the guy is hugely successful. I have rarely listened to Kyle Sandilands on the radio, nor indeed watched the talent shows on which he is a judge. That’s not snobbery. It’s just how it is. But just as you didn’t need to read Eat Pray Love to know it was bag of fertiliser-grade horse manure, you don’t need to listen to Kyle to know his shows are rubbish. And that, right there, is the proof that he’s so damn clever. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Antony McMullen) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/is-kyle-sandilands-australias-smartest-man/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/is-kyle-sandilands-australias-smartest-man/#item6429 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:00:12 +0000 For a smart guy, Steve Wozniak — the man who, with Steve Jobs, co-founded Apple — has some pretty dumb ideas. Speaking at a business meeting on the Gold Coast recently, Wozniak claimed that machines are becoming more intelligent than humans. Wozniak was reported to have said ‘We’re already creating the superior beings, I think we lost the battle to the machines long ago. We’re going to become the pets, the dogs of the house.” In Wozniak’s eyes, humans are going to become mere spectators to the doings of machines. ‘Every time we create new technology we’re creating stuff to do the work we used to do and we’re making ourselves less meaningful, less relevant’, he said. http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/Tough-luck-geeks-were-still-smarter-than-silicon/ For a smart guy, Steve Wozniak — the man who, with Steve Jobs, co-founded Apple — has some pretty dumb ideas.

Well, I found him. And had I been paying more attention I could have saved the entire US military-industrial complex from disgrace. Around four or five years ago Julian Assange came to my house for dinner. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Antony McMullen) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/Wikileaks-founder-tracked-down-at-my-dinner-table/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/Wikileaks-founder-tracked-down-at-my-dinner-table/#item3662 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:00:12 +0000 For a smart guy, Steve Wozniak — the man who, with Steve Jobs, co-founded Apple — has some pretty dumb ideas.

They were, The Australian reports, construction workers and taxi drivers of Somali and Lebanese descent, living in suburban Melbourne. Combine this with the admission of Anglo-Australian terrorist Shane Kent that he was part of a terrorist organisation and it’s clear terrorists don’t look like anything in particular and could be living in your street. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Antony McMullen) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/race-profiles-a-blunted-tool-in-fight-against-enemy-within/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/race-profiles-a-blunted-tool-in-fight-against-enemy-within/#item809 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:00:12 +0000 For a smart guy, Steve Wozniak — the man who, with Steve Jobs, co-founded Apple — has some pretty dumb ideas.
