I'm sure John Gruber will find a way to spin this in a pro-Apple light.

  This is old news. You can see his spin here: http://daringfireball.net/linked/2013/01/23/asymmetry http://daringfireball.net/linked/2013/01/23/asymmetry

    Only he doesn't spin it as far as I see it: "Could be legal trouble for Apple (and a bunch of other companies), though"

      I don't have a dog in the fight, but "The man did not beat around the bush", is soft praise for his frankness. If you believe it was immoral and illegal, this is definitely spin. My take: "Steve Jobs likely broke the law, and engaged in an activity that denied thousands of engineers full market wages. I suspect his motivations were to enrich Apple to stroke his own ego."

  Why spin it when he could simply not cover it? (Which he did, by the way.) Gruber actually does post things that cast Jobs in a negative light. Get over it.

      Here's one off the top of my head: http://daringfireball.net/linked/2012/08/07/marco-icloud-security http://daringfireball.net/linked/2012/08/07/marco-icloud-sec... Here's another: http://daringfireball.net/linked/2013/03/26/icloud-hamburger http://daringfireball.net/linked/2013/03/26/icloud-hamburger I know I've seen a number over the past few years, but searching the website is unfortunately difficult because Gruber is so prolific.

        Both of those criticisms post-date Jobs. Gruber's coverage of the Foxconn deaths was truly something to behold. I stopped reading him about that time.

          The media massively misrepresented that controversy. He was right to call people out on it, in my opinion. I take issue with your suggestion that Gruber was putting his admiration of Apple over people's lives. He's not a moustache-twirling villain.
