I do have to admit that he does take an unholy delight in mocking pundits, stock analysts, or those who play them on TV, who make stupid Apple predictions which prove to be stupid.
Somebody ought to. Tech pundits are no better than those idiot psychics that make a set of predictions every December for the coming year: Which celebrities will die, which will divorce, and so on. They're nearly always wrong, but when they catch a break and get something right, they boast about it for years.
Tech punditry is a noxious racket. I don't think we need fewer Grubers, or that Gruber should branch out and start serving claim chowder to the people who bash Microsoft, I think we need more Grubers calling these people out across the entire industry.
And yet we have Gruber still regularly linking to Asymco, who, when first linked to, by Gruber, was telling us all that Apple, RIM and Nokia were destined for greatness because they were "integrated" while in "modular" land, WinPhone would outsell Android and combined they'd never breach the 30% of sales mark.
So the first person that should be called out by these "new Grubers", could be Gruber himself.
