Of course Gruber is spinning this to be about "one image." Pro-Apple spin is largely what he seems to do these days. Does anyone think that, were this situation reversed, that Gruber would be intentionally trying to make this about a single image? Of course he wouldn't.

I still read Gruber everyday- he has a lot of interesting things to say about technology in general and Apple in particular. But it is increasingly hard to take him seriously about any story related to Apple's anti-android litigation, because he seems to have abandoned any attempt to present the situation fairly, to the point where he has really become a rather naked shill for Apple.

I am typing this on an iPad 2. I love my iPad 2. I tried a great number of tablets prior to purchasing it, and I genuinely find it to be the superior product, and by a long shot. I am even sympathetic to Apple's claims in this case, as I do think the resemblance between the Galaxy and the iPad to be more than simple coincidence. But it seems pretty clear to me that this is about much more (or should be about much more) than one "doctored" photo, and I am absolutely sure that Gruber knows it.

The thing is, I don't think he cares, because it seems as if he's completely abandoned even the pretense of presenting a just and fair picture of any of Apple's recent patent litigation.
