man this ipad memo stuff is wearing thin. Even that link he posted, the guy finished the book on a Mac. Yes you can do bits of creation of the iPad. But Macs are way better at most of it. And that should be OK. iBooks: on iPad. iBooks Author: on Mac.

Man that was a lot of words to get across "I think I am worth literally twice as much per year than even John Gruber ever thought he was worth for his RSS feed"

NB Gruber now easily makes six figures across his various channels, seems to have no qualms about it.

I’ve long suspected that Mayer preferred the iPhone to Android as a user. She was into Instagram while it was iPhone-only. She’s sent multiple tweets — September 2011, June of this year — using Twitter for iPhone. And her husband just tweeted that he’s switching to the iPhone from BlackBerry.I’ve long suspected that Mayer preferred the iPhone to Android as a user.

It's a blog not just about Apple, but about excellence.
His voice can be muscular and rigorous.
But he maybe best understands excellence as it relates to blogging.
he can still better articulate what's fun and compelling about link-sharing (which he's been doing since before we deemed it curation) than anyone
Apple, Gruber's Beatrice, is engorged as a company
He hasn't written, for a long time, an engaging description of a laptop or an account of an anthropomorphized interface element.
It is a testament, still, to the power and potential of writing on the web, to the blogger as auteur

yeah, it's impressive how he's managed to turn journalism's economics on its head - do nyt columnist even earn that much? - although it's pretty obvious he's a one-off for all sorts of reasons that don't have much to do with his writing.

I hope you'll accept this unsolicited criticism in the spirit that it's intended:
Linking to Gizmodo comments is like pointing at someone taking a shit on the sidewalk.[*]
It's your site, and you certainly owe me, an Adblock-running reader, nothing. But you used to do better than this.

Dear Caek,
Thank you for your thoughtful letter. I unfortunately was unable to read it due to my eyes being all clogged up with tons of money.

All his reviews lately have a paragraph like "I didn't like this change at first, but right now I don't really mind, I'm sure the old way will seem weird in a few weeks" which just seems sadly appropriate.
