If you think Gruber's biased in favor of Apple, just wait until you meet Steve Jobs.

I'm only half-joking. I mean the whole POINT of DF is that it's written from a very Apple-centric point of view. That doesn't mean lavishing uncritical praise on everything Apple does, while mindlessly heaping opprobrium on their competitors. What it DOES mean is cultivating a point-of-view that attempts to closely track the one held by Apple itself.

If Gruber says something is idiotic, what he means is "I think Apple thinks this is idiotic, and here's why."

Obviously, his insights aren't perfect. But given that Jobs & Co. don't blog, DF provides one of the more reliable guides as to what the folks in Cupertino are actually seeing and thinking. Its sustained success indicates that, all things considered, Gruber is doing a pretty solid job.

I have seen that, and I do like enthusiasts, and I have enjoyed DF before, but every now and then a little too much seethes through and I feel that the point of comparing Windows 8 to Mac OSX gets lost in the forest of praise for Apple.

I wanted to read DF's Apple-centric point of view, but couldn't get past the third paragraph.

Its difficult when you're independent of platforms and have to read literature written by those who are limited by their sole choice of one platform.

"Its difficult when you're independent of platforms and have to read literature written by those who are limited by their sole choice of one platform."

I couldn't agree more.
