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.

well they prob just read and then trusted him

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.

In one you have the clean minimalist designs that Apple is long famous for. Whites walls, blonde wood tables all designed to accompany and highlight the brushed aluminum iDevices for sale within.

one of the terrible things about these gruber accolytes is how it takes them 2000 words to say something that deserves, at most, two tweets.

maybe microsoft just wants you to be comfortable and apple wants you to buy stuff and gtfo

All my trendo programmer friends are changing to standing desks, perhaps Apple is just anticipating this trend

A review from the Prog & Rock Network.
― James Mitchell, Wednesday, 8 February 2012 14:26 (twelve years ago) link
Progressive rock rose to prominence in the 1960s and 70s as a way of elevating rock music to a new level of artistic merit.
