Why is he personally offended by this? Gruber is a tech journalist. When another person who claims the role of tech journalist acts like a sociopath, it reflects badly on everyone in the profession. And that's not some abstract philosophical exercise. Gruber's job just got a lot harder. Who among us would trust a journalist now? How many Apple engineers just said a silent prayer and swore to never breathe a word to any journalist, ever? Hell, with guys like this on the loose who needs the legendary wrath of Steve Jobs? I might rather be denounced and fired by Steve Jobs [1] than publicly humiliated in the tech press. Journalists with ethics need to complain about this loudly and forcefully. Otherwise they will be presumed to be among the journalists without ethics. --- [1] Once the shock wore off, it would be something of an honor to be personally denounced by Steve Jobs. It's not like you wouldn't be in elite company.
