I agree that he probably understands the motivations and spirit of Apple better than most. My point is that he's now a part of the system in a subtle way, and to think about it when reading his coverage. He's no longer just a guy with a blo

Don't forget that Apple has officially taken a liking to him, and that he is getting unusual access for a "regular guy". Pre-release hardware to review, invitations to private Apple media events, etc. It would be in his best interest to not
