Why would Gruber want to demote himself to write for a kids mag ... when he has that fine column all by himself?

People get their panties in a knot because he chose some expletives. So what? Who has not thought of someone as a fucking jackass on occasion? Gruber just had the stones to write it. Deal. I subscribed to Wired for years. I don't any more. To many articles written by fucking jackasses.

Valuable insights and a window in to many things I'm interested in. I had never been to valleywag until he linked to you today. I doubt he would want to write for you.

Great window into the stuff I'm interested in. He is a n Apple apologist, but does try to show all sides of the argument. I'd never been to Valleywag until he linked to you today. I doubt he wants to write for you.

Specific to the Wired article, his point was actually dead on. The real story is less about how Apple and Google are so different and more about how they are without peer in successfully navigating and collapsing the once impenetrable barriers between the PC, mobile, media and internet spaces.

I dub Apple and Google, 'The Chess Masters' and see them on an inevitable collision course given their mammoth ambitions.

Here is my post on the topic: [thenetworkgarden.com]

His blog got popular enough that it's now his fulltime job.

Who is he? He's an irritating, smug and incredibly anally retentive defender of Apple and (almost) all it does. I can't recommend his blog highly enough. Seriously. Insight of the kind you seldom find on Valleywag.

It's like he feels the need to vigorously defend the cool kid in the room against the snide mumblings of a bunch of rattled nerds. John, the cool kid really doesn't give a shit about you or those detractors you spend your days shooting down...
