he took the idea from dean allen,
who had created "textile"
(which was featured in the
movabletype blogging-system gruber used).
gruber reworked that idea slightly,
then released it with a catchy name,
and somehow received all the credit.
as for gruber's blog, i would say
it is evenhanded and informative,
albeit focused on apple and its products.
the blog is certainly not "fawning",
and i think most apple-buyers feel
no need to "justify" their purchases.
