I'm actually finally getting sick of Gruber's incessant cheer-leading of every little move that apple/AT&T do. I know its his job, but seriously some of these moves are beyond stupid. And praising them with a straight face is ridiculous.

He refers to the tethering charge as "bullshit." Is that cheer-leading? If so, I what kind of language should he use to express vituperation? He also expresses contempt for changing the plan on a flagship product a month after release. This doesn't sound like cheer-leading to me.

More importantly, he isn't praising the moves so much as saying that he will save a few bucks with the new plans, and that for all of the problems 3G on an iPhone with AT&T is less shitty than another product a MiFi.

I get the sense you're reviewing other things he's written and not this specific post.

He's not praising all of them by any means though– on what points do you disagree?
