And Gruber yesterday posted a link indicating that Apple's punishment of recent e-book trial was result of Amazon's good relation with Obama administration http://daringfireball.net/linked/2013/08/02/amazon. I wonder what will he say now.

I think few people, including Gruber, expected the Obama administration would step in. It was a possibility, but it wasn’t at all likely.

As for the ebook farce: Apple was told by Capitol Hill insiders that it should increase its lobbying efforts (like Amazon and Google), otherwise bad things might happen.
