Someone didn’t read the “There is something rotten in Cupertino” article that caused Apple not only to not make an executive available for his post WWDC podcast for the first time in a decade or how he continuously criticizes Tim Cook kissing Trump’s ass.
He has also been a continuous critic of Apple’s App Store policies and its handling of regulators
- olalonde 8mo agoWell "shilling" is a bit strong but his livelihood is tethered to Apple.
- raw_anon_1111 8mo agoYes, because if Gruber doesn’t say nice things about Apple, they may go out of business and he won’t have anything to write about…
- olalonde 8mo agoIs he your uncle or something? I was just saying that it's surprising someone whose livelihood revolves around Apple uses a 5 year old MacBook. And yeah, if he was not an Apple enthusiast, Apple wouldn't suffer but his blog would.
- raw_anon_1111 8mo agoNo I am saying it’s dumb to call someone a shill when he has a very public spat with Apple, he constantly criticizes its CEO, its App Store policies, the latest OS, etc. Exactly what would you like him to criticize? That the latest Apple Watch doesn’t run Linux? Why exactly would he need to buy a new Mac just to maintain a blog? He buys a new iPhone every year and he gets review units of everything.
