My favorite part about this is that Gruber has been repeating the speculation that the chip was not manufactured by Samsung. He turned out to be wrong. When others are wrong with their "Claim Chowder" (as he likes to call it) he shits all over then. But this is all you get from him when he is wrong: http://daringfireball.net/linked/2013/09/20/a7 http://daringfireball.net/linked/2013/09/20/a7
- melange 13y agoGruber reported the speculation as just that - speculation. He didn't write crazy opinions about how 'Samsung was doomed' or how 'Samsung's CEO should step down' etc. etc. His swift acknowledgement of when he was wrong was entirely appropriate. The people who be calls out with 'claim chowder' make ludicrous assertions, and never acknowledge they were wrong. Very different.
- jack-r-abbit 13y agoHe has used that speculation to kind of refute other people's different speculations. So he did more than just report it... he bought into it and used it to tell other people they were wrong.
- pohl 13y agoThat would be interesting to read. Can you cite a specific instance?

- pohl 13y agoI'm disappointed. I thought you would link to something where he told someone that they were wrong. Instead, he said conditionally that if the speculation pans out, then he "may be" wrong about a reason why something was observed. It wasn't a refutation, but just offering an alternative hypothesis. That seems like a perfectly guarded statement, self-aware of its speculative basis.
- jessaustin 13y agoI wonder when the two instances of "may" were included in that piece?
- comex 13y agoIf the piece was edited after the fact, I'd eat my hat. Gruber is biased, not a complete hypocrite.
- gbog 13y agoHow do you know? I always thought journalists had some basic level principles about their jobs, until I heard from a first hand witness that you can actually buy some of them with good money...
- jack-r-abbit 13y agoHmm... Then I have no idea what Gruber meant when he said: More on the very-wrong Peter Misek.... Not just wrong.... but very-wrong.
- macrael 13y agoThe link Gruber had posted right before this one was: http://daringfireball.net/linked/2013/09/17/claim-chowder-peter-misek http://daringfireball.net/linked/2013/09/17/claim-chowder-pe...
- 9oliYQjP 13y agoIf you look at his other posts for the day they're all short statements. Maybe he's just in a particularly non-verbose mood.
- Marazan 13y agoHe almost always does short statements often of a slightly ambiguous nature. This helps him avoid having to say he's wrong in the future. His sterling analysis (i.e. complete failure to see it'd be a success) of the Galaxy Note monster phones is a fine example of this.
