What exactly do you mean by bias. What makes an opinion biased, in this case, as against an opinion you simply disagree with?

I suppose uncritical support would be an indicator, maybe that's what you mean by "regardless", but Gruber has never been shy about stating very clearly and forcefully when he disagrees with or doesn't like something Apple is doing. Just recently with the Safari UI redesign for example, or the problems with some of the desktop cameras.

My point exactly was that I don't even necessarily disagree with his opinion. However, I would not trust anything he's writing either because of his bias. And with bias I mean the same bias a mother may has to her child if it's the brightest and most beautiful human being there is. Of course any good mother would think that. The same with him and the next new Apple product: Of course it's the best, most thinnest, most magical device there is. I cannot take it seriously. That's the point I was trying to make.

If he uncritically praised every Apple product without question, sure, fine, but as I and others here have pointed out that's simply, obviously, provably not the case. There are many, many examples of where he has seriously disagreed with design, commercial and technical decisions Apple has made and said so very clearly. That's a lot of why I read his stuff.
