William Gallagher, AppleInsider:
Legendary technology columnist, pundit, author and podcast host
John C. Dvorak has died, age 80. He is survived by his wife
Mimi Dvorak.Today Dvorak is best known for co-hosting the “No Agenda” podcast
with Adam Curry, where he would critique mainstream news media.
His death was first announced by the podcast on X, although note
that Dvorak’s age is mistakenly given as 74.
From the No Agenda News newsletter yesterday:
For a man who spent decades famously predicting the catastrophic
demise of almost every major technological innovation, it is with
the heaviest of hearts we must announce that John’s own hardware
finally gave out on Monday morning, July 20th, 2026, at the age of
80. He went peacefully, albeit suddenly, with Mimi at his side,
critiquing the acting and story line of NCIS.
His death truly seems quite sudden — the most recent episode of No Agenda dropped on Sunday, the day before he died.
