No, he isn't.

"One thing I should make clear, given some of the email I’ve gotten this week, is that I’m rooting for Android, big-time." --Gruber

Personally, I'd rather not see his articles here as they never contain any discussion of the topic, rather tons of bitching about the man himself.



Right, funny that how never manifests in his writing, no? I can point to many instances, but here is a fairly recent one: When CBS and a few other networks started banning Google TV from watching content, a lot of people thought that was a bad example of Big Content making decisions for people - ie, why can I watch online TV with my HTPC, but not a specialized HTPC like Google TV? These people criticized the networks for doing that. Grubber's take? The equivalent of a Nelson Ha-Ha. Very insightful and mature of him.

This characterizes most of his writing on Android, Google TV, etc etc.

that's why i unsubscribed from his rss feed recently. i subscribed a long time ago because i enjoyed reading his commentary on apple-related things, but in the past few months it's been more about how much android sucks.
