- pohl 15y agoAmusing, but far-fetched. Gruber wouldn't weep on camera on a daily basis to emotionally hook the vulnerable. If anything, his style tends towards the dispassionate. Regarding the article, I'm amazed that owning a twitter username today is made out to be almost as if he owned the domain. Is twitter that important?

- mvkel 15y agoTrademark law has classes for a reason. I'm sure Beck is perfectly within his limits to operate a company called Markdown that has nothing to do with Gruber's version. Also, why doesn't Gruber own Markdown.com? Seems like an obvious oversight.
