Sure. And? What’s your point? Apple met separately with loads of journalists. I don’t see anything special about how they treated Gruber.

- cageface 14y agoYeah you're right. An exclusive, face-to-face meeting with the senior vice president of marketing is nothing special. I'm sure things like that don't influence his writing about Apple at all.
- pazimzadeh 14y agoThat meeting happened in 2012. Gruber's been writing Daring Fireball since 2002. http://daringfireball.net/archive/ http://daringfireball.net/archive/
- cageface 14y agoI've been reading him on and off the whole time. Once upon a time he was actually worth reading but I don't even bother now because I can practically write his tech-Pravda pieces in my head.
- drchiu 14y agoI agree. Also, I wonder how many more rMBP are sold as a result of people reading this? (assuming the would-be buyer is sitting on the face between a regular non-retina vs retina macbook) The thing reads like a praise-review hidden beneath a veneer of typography fetish.
- rglullis 14y agoHow many of these journalists are known to be critics of Apple, or write about them in a more direct, non-ass-sucking way?
- pooriaazimi 14y agoThey invited correspondents from The New York Times. Don't tell me the iEconomy articles wasn't the biggest blow to Apple this year (after the ruling that they had to say Samsung wasn't cool enough to copy them, of course!).
