I snapped and wrote to Gruber once, pointing out exactly how he was factually wrong about some Android issue. I believe he continued to write and be wrong about it.
Clearly a waste of my time. I was at least polite, though.
- huhtenberg 14y agoHigh-profile bloggers' priority is not to get the facts right. It is to generate traffic.
- drivingmenuts 14y agoIt sounds like bloggers are devolving into the Angelyne's of the web (famous for being famous).
- pretoriusB 14y agoPlease, tell us about the issue so we can judge ourselves. Otherwise, this is just an unsupported accusation against Gruber -- which is ironic in this particular thread. How do we know he "continued to write and be wrong about it" rather than being you who was wrong about it all along, or that both of you were right in a different way?
- astine 14y agoI'd rather this thread not devolve into a discussion about Android minutia, or worse, a debate about Gruber's character. Whether he was right or wrong is irrelevant to the GP's point that writing to Gruber was a waste of his time.
- pretoriusB 14y ago>Whether he was right or wrong is irrelevant to the GP's point that writing to Gruber was a waste of his time. I beg to differ. We are in a thread about BS accusations from random people on the internet, and a HN reader contributes with an accusation about an famous blogger without providing any data to substantiate it. Sort of the thing the article condemns.
