I know. I was alluding to Gruber's strong bias towards Apple, and that he should give Google's products and services the same allowances that he would give to Apple's.

edit: sorry, might still not be clear. Gruber seems to be implying that Google fans are believing something that isn't true; by extension, Gruber's disagreeing with Larry Page's statement that Google is "building great things that don't exist", and both of his paragraphs are dedicated to that point. If he were more objective, he'd have to also say that Apple doesn't build "great things that don't exist", and that the enthusiasm of Apple fans is unjustified. That's pretty far from Gruber's usual take on Apple.

But really, I think that's a less interesting debate than the one about whether or not Google is starting to look like 1990's-era Microsoft. "Embrace, extend, and extinguish" might arguably describe Google right now too.
