And who cares what Mr Gruber has heard from this "somebody"? Irrelevant piece of "news" to say the least.

I love that we barely know anything about this keynote, it makes me so much more excited!
I just wish we could watch it live on the Apple TV
It's widely believed he is. However, Macworld won't officially say, and the moderators delete any comments that suggest his identity.

Gruber seems to get controlled leaks from Apple on occasion, usually to temper expectations when rumors get out of hand.
I hope you're not suggesting that the moderators of MacRumors are doing this because we are not.
He might have been told by someone in Apple what not to expect, but not what to expect.
Apple already out-does Google on UI design. From what it sounds like they will get their act together on the services end too. I think we will be pleased with what we see.
Little that he says is reliable - moreover, to say that "everything is wrong" does little to moderate expectations.
Since he said leaks, not rumors, I think what this really means is that those awful fake iOS pictures are indeed fake. No real surprise there.
There's certainly plenty of reasonable speculation that may indeed come true. A statement about leaks has no effect on that. That's guesswork, not leaks.

what're you on about? Gruber gets, now and then, little tidbits of information from people at Apple, and he's far more reliable than anybody else out there. As far as I can remember, none of his little Apple "leaks" have ever been wrong.
He moderates the information he gets very tightly, and isn't loud about it. As a result, his "leaks" are often more subtle nods and winks than the usual APPEL WILL LANUCH FLAT IRADIO THIS WEEKNED you're used to from sites like 9to5 Mac and MacRumors.
With regards to what "leaks" in particular are "wrong" (a "flat" iOS?, MacBook Air announcements?), we may never know. And I doubt Gruber knows either, which is why he chose to only offhandedly mention the tip he got from Apple.
The metaphor has to do with Poker or in particular Blackjack.. Double down in this case means you're betting it all on these changes and you're confident in them. Make sense?
It's a term used in betting, and it's become an idiom. Literally it means doubling your bet, risking twice the money because you think you're going to win.
Figuratively, it means Apple is going to get even more secretive than they have been in the past.
Lots of reasons. The main one being that if you use your mac for work, iOS's interface is never going to be anywhere near as productive. Junk like Launchpad has no place on a desktop OS.
Polarizing: as in polarized lenses, as in no shine/glare: flat.

I fully expect we'll get some legitimate leaks coming out of Apple over the course of the next 24 hours, even if they're very minor. I believe Apple gets more lax right before a big event like this, if not outright encourages leaks to get a buzz going. From Apple's perspective, none of their competition is going to get much advantage in the few hours before Tim Cook's keynote, and it gets everyone excited for what they have to announce.
