    Isn’t the daringfireball blog a de facto front for Apple PR?

        A guy who nearly always defends Apple’s controversial decisions. It’s probably not reasonable to treat him as neutral or fair in a dispute between Apple and any other entity.

            It’s fine that he has an opinion. It’s even fine that he’s a fanboy, but important for people evaluating what he says about Apple to know that he has a decades long record of being barely more neutral than the company’s PR department.

            Daring fireball is a very popular blog. The guy invented markdown. He’s a very known Apple apologist. It’s not wrong for someone who knows Daring Fireball to assume anything he says positively about Apple or in defense of Apple has potential for his fanboy bias.
