Can understand why this guy hates Google so much if he keeps checking Analytics to find people like us laughing at him.

Stellar is great, yes. Really needs the ability to find your friends, though. I'm just following a bunch of randoms and it's worrying how often people favorite Gruber's stuff.
― James Mitchell, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 18:31 (twelve years ago) link
well they prob just read and then trusted him

Can send an invite to the email on your user profile. Only got one left, though.

You don’t see many executives trading up from CEO of one company to senior vice president of another. That Browett is from Europe is a pretty good signal that international expansion is a top priority for Apple retail.

Gruber's work serves as a lone wolf, a standard bearer, for my own:
Writers like John Gruber and podcasters like Dan Benjamin have gone from being lone wolfs to standard bearers.
John Gruber, Dan Benjamin, Marco Arment, Horace Dediu, all of these people are setting a very high standard for this community, and it’s not just in the level of professionalism they show in their work: it’s also how much they care about what they do and take pride in it. If you read Daring Fireball, listen to Dan’s shows on 5by5, or use Instapaper, there’s no doubt they really love to do what they’re doing.
