Most revealing line of his 4S review:
I asked for and received a Sprint model from Apple for testing, so that I could compare it against AT&T and Verizon.

I'd assume (hope) that he returned it when done?

I love how Baig, Pogue, and Mossberg get review units before everyone else, and race to publish their reviews. Where by “love” I of course mean “hate”.

I’m not sure why this has erupted into such a little blog publishing world scandal. It’s certainly wrong for someone to accept one of these machines and then write about it without disclosing that it was a gift (or a review unit, or whatever you want to call it), but I don’t get why some people are so up in arms about Microsoft giving them out in the first place.
― James Mitchell, Thursday, 13 October 2011 15:23 (fourteen years ago)
tbf i think 'Where by “love” I of course mean “hate”.' is a horribly formed joke about jealousy, rather than him thinking it is wrong in principle to review stuff you haven't bought.
don't get me wrong though, he's still a terrible person.
― caek, Thursday, 13 October 2011 15:24 (fourteen years ago)
Grubes has stated multiple times that he always returns his review units.

indefensible or not, the more he descends into (unintentional) self-parody, the more entertaining I find him

The fields aren’t new, but their usefulness for Siri is.
October 24th:
Yeah, seems like a nice idea to use these fields to aid Siri, but it’s not what they’re there for.
