Every time someone dismisses Gruber's contributions and influence in the tech field, it makes our field look like it's populated by dickheads.

Gruber's consistently had some of the best analysis on Apple (and some other aspects of the tech industry). He's been writing for over 10 years, it has made him successful, and he's been able to cultivate direct access to Apple (http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-09-06/meet-apples-...) and the occasional response from Jobs himself (http://techcrunch.com/2010/04/10/steve-jobs-responds-to-ipho...).

I'm with Atwood on this one, but seeing the peanut gallery make stupid and snarky comments about Gruber himself is starting to piss me off.

Well, I agree with you that he has some of the best analysis on Apple.

But the takeaway is that his quality content represents only a drop in the ocean of his worthless one-line microthroughts and general blabbery and whining.
