Gruber says Daring Fireball is always blacklisted from the HN homepage. Is that really the case? If so, why?

Anyway, the worst thing about him is his double standards.

For example, when Samsung announced the Galaxy S III Mini, he said the specs were “rather lame”, with “slower processor and a mere 800 × 480 pixel display”: https://daringfireball.net/linked/2012/10/10/4-inch-samsung.

A few days later, his review of the iPad Mini didn’t even mention the processor — slower than the iPad’s. And he obviously was much more careful with his words regarding the screen resolution (no “lame” is found in the review): https://daringfireball.net/2012/10/ipad_mini

Here are two distinct uses of the word “interesting”:

- When talking about Gmail for Android: https://daringfireball.net/linked/2013/09/30/gmail-ads

- When talking about motion sickness and iOS 7: https://daringfireball.net/linked/2013/09/26/ios-7-motion-si...

> Handshakes, a few pleasantries, good hot coffee, and then, well, then I got an Apple press event for one.

Such a big mix of press release and extreme praise about getting a “press event for one”. Talk about second-hand embarrassment.
