In the context of another column overly-focused on Chandler vs. Outlook from CW360.com, this biographical tidbit:
"However, the intellectual Kapor had, sensibly, retired at the height of his fame, co-founded the Electronic Frontier Foundation and pursued his real interest: the translation of ancient Semitic languages."
Wry British humor or a howler? You decide.
P.S. Mail to columnist Simon Moores bounced.

As someone who's met Mr Moores - a man possibly congenitally able to utter a sentence without the word 'I' - in the flesh, I doubt the previous statement. Mutterings heard after the panel speaking event: "What on *earth* was he talking about...?"
