Rob Enderle, please call your office

Someone's stealing his shtick.

The Macalope
Born of the earth, forged in fire, the Macalope was branded "nonstandard" and "proprietary" by the IT world and considered a freak of nature. Part man, part Mac, and part antelope, the Macalope set forth on a quest to save his beloved platform. Long-eclipsed by his more prodigious cousin, the jackalope (they breed like rabbits, you know), the Macalope's time has come. Apple news and rumormonger extraordinaire, the Macalope provides a uniquely polymorphic approach. Disclosure.

"People act as if this can bring world peace and cure cancer -- yet it can't download songs over the air," said Roger Entner, senior vice president of the communications sector of IAG Research.

Is that all you've got? That one line? Where's the claim that the iPhone's actually going to kill people? Sir, the horned one has followed Rob Enderle. He's actively mocked Rob Enderle. You, sir, are no Rob Enderle.

Or is he?

Roger Entner?

Rob Enderle?

The Macalope's starting to think someone's pulling his shank.

In reference to Mr. Gruber's question about who was quoting the 1,000,000 iPhone sales figure before the launch, a search on "Roger Entner" and "1,000,000" turns up nothing about the iPhone.

Surprise! Well, perhaps he told his cat.
