Oh look, it's a Daring Fireball post where Gruber is talking at length about how awesome Apple is.

This guy really likes to ramble about the most insignificant things.

Oh look, it's a snarky comment on Hacker News dismissing Gruber for writing an article on the topic of Apple, without even attempting to address any of the contents of the article.

Apple is doing well to optimize what the company already has, but has shown little regarding what they plan to do next.

Seems like they're playing very safe.

I find it hard to argue with any of the points he makes. I'm sure someone here will, but I found myself doing the mental "gulp of air and raising a finger" then getting silenced again.

I really wish Microsoft had pulled off Windows Phone; it arguably had a much better user experience than Android did (and still does) -- and interesting Nokia hardware.

I simply don't believe Google has the best interests of anyone at heart except themselves and advertisers.

The next 10 years are going to be very interesting indeed.

I dunno... Continuity, answering phones on a PC, etc, seems to point pretty strongly at "we are going to make switching between all our devices as seamless as possible" for "what they plan to do next".

That's not really "optimizing", considering that Apple is aiming at a range of improvements to the cross-device experience that other companies have only barely touched at (Chrome tab sync, etc).

Announcing (almost final) products once you're sure they will be released seems better than announcing "plans".

It seems that Apple prefers to hide their cards.
