I love the balance Josh maintains between keeping it light while still calling this guy out. Another great show overall :-)

My only exposure to Daring Fireball was citations from other websites. From how Gruber represented himself and his site on this video, I won't start following his site anytime soon.

gruber is a very smart dude. Hes into what hes into, rather than pretending to be dispassionate and unopinionated. He is who he is and he likes what he likes and he explains it logically.

love the intro

[papernicolas3]

It's a song by Josh Topolsky. He hasn't released it yet.

[Leighton Bradley]

@mrahman248 Seems to be a camera from Sony's NEX line. He loves the NEX 7, so that might be it, though it looks more like the C3.

WE WANT THE INTRO SONG!

[AttackKodak]

John Gruber is completely stiff and humorless.

[mrahman248]

What camera is that in Nilay's hands at the end?

[TtookkyyooMusic]

I liked this guy, until he started saying things like "I like to be right all the time" and "You're either right or you're wrong." I preferred him for the first 17 mins of this hour and a half show.

[Matthew Cole]

What is the intro song for this show called?

[Cromulentable]

Great to see Gruber in action. I don't always agree with him, but I find his site and 5by5 podcast tremendously entertaining.
