		m463 5 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Apple Design Leadership Change: Bad Dye Job I think gruber is a die-hard apple fan, a passion I would expect from someone who has written about apple for years. That said, he is frequently an apple apologist. This gets in the way of critical thinking. Apple does not deserve a pass on poor products, bad policies or behavior, and other things that deserve being called out by journalism.

It seems like a team sports thing. Gruber tied his boat to Apple 20+ years ago, and is chummy with quite a few Apple employees.

I assume (perhaps incorrectly) that when he criticizes Apple, he puts his relationships, access, and self image at risk.
