I always wondered why anybody would "support" or subscribe to the microblog of someone whose profession seems to be "write about Apple, mostly defending them". And not in any detailed long form, either.
I don't enjoy the fact that he's obviously biased and defends Apple too often, and occasionally shows his lack of technical understanding. But this man's job is writing and he writes better than 90% of blog posts posted on HN. And he has plenty of long form posts. His iPhone reviews are often longer than most tech journalists' reviews. I often disagree with the contents of his writing, but I do have a soft spot for people who wield language well.
