Where’s Gruber?

In terms of Apple not giving him special treatment, if he’s surprised to be neglected after biting the hand that feeds him, he’s foolish.

No, he’s got principles and guts. You could learn a thing or two from him

It’s better to speak the truth and get punished than lie to yourself and be a lapdog for the powerful

This is the crux of the issue. Gruber has gone too deep in to politics. I respect Jim Darymple for reading the room and calling it quits.

What do you mean he’s gone too deep into politics?

Daring Fireball remains the best-written, most objective blog about Apple. Gruber’s post about Apple’s problems with AI was correct and courageous. It cost him, at least temporarily, his relationship with senior leadership at the wealthiest company in the world. That proves Gruber’s intellectual honesty and proves his blog’s objectivity and value. I can’t wait to read his review of the iPhones 17.

If you call that political drivel a well written blog, I have a bridge to sell you. Gruber and intellectual honesty left some time in 2018. That’s when I stopped reading it. It has only turned darker.

This explains it, now people are writing daring fireball extensions lol. But his Apple insights went down long time ago.

What “political rabbit hole” are you talking about?

Aside from his foaming-at-the-mouth hatred of the current president and incessant invective that dominates his tech coverage? Nothing.

Why wouldn’t you hate a wannabe fascist dictator? Seems like a normal, rational thing to do. The only people that would see that as a bad thing are the ones who are pro-fascism. Is that really the side you want to be on?

I have no love for the guy nor did I vote for him, but this belongs in political forum. Gruber hateful and toxic personality came out. And people think he is intellectual honest with all the lies just coz he doesn’t like something or some one. I fully expect him to do same with Apple. Behave like emotional loose canon and let hate blind him. I mean there is a seven or eight years worth of those posts.
