"Google’s Wave will crash hard onto the beach of overhype" coming from the man who said World Wide Telescope made him cry. (WWT is nice, but I can't imagine it making anyone cry). Why does the web always seem to reward those who make the most exaggerated and outlandish statements?

He only seems to addresses the Google wave client in his complaint, when there's much more to it. If he doesn't like their implementation he could implement his own with their federation protocol.

On a side note, why does he say new things can come in at the bottom? From my limited use of the dev preview new stuff is always coming at the top of my wave inbox.

Because the web is a subset of 'the media' and that's where the same thing happens.

Let's be happy that at least it doesn't make sound (for the most part) or we'd have aggressive voices touting products while you're looking at a page.
