> Why does the fact that I'm criticizing Gruber's arguments mean I "obviously" don't think Apple currently makes the best phones? Bad arguments should be criticised. Fair enough. It sounded more like you disagreed with his opinion when I read your original post than a criticism of his thinking. I can see how I misinterpreted that. > This site consistently reads like it is ghostwritten by Apple's marketing team. Except when Apple does something he disagrees with, then he complains about it. He does expend a lot of energy arguing against Apple criticism, but he has also shown there is quite a bit of bad writing about Apple out there (usually because it attracts clicks). And he has owned up when his own predictions fall flat. I usually find myself agreeing with about 70% of what he writes, which is more than I can say for other tech authors. Apple makes plenty of bad products — I find their web services uniformly terrible — an area where Google excels. I like to think that if Apple produced similarly bad devices, Daring fireball would call them out on it.
