I love how he claims over and over, as he did on last night's Colbert, that Bill Gates was “the only 13 year old in 1969” with access to a computer because there was one at his school. This is ridiculous on its face. Among other obvious refutations, I don't believe Bill Gates was THE ONLY STUDENT AT HIS SCHOOL.

The thing about Gladwell is that you can Blink and you're done with his ideas and wanting to read something with a bit more substance.
And dude, 1971 called, he wants his 'Fro back.
