Gruber must be having a hard time finding sponsors if he decided to accept money from Microsoft, probably the second company he hates most (the first one being Google, obviously).

I’m not John Gruber, but having read the blog for many years I feel I can safely say that the guy does not hate Microsoft, nor does he hate Google.

I would have to second this. I can see how one would get that impression if the only exposure to him is an article or two that gets linked from somewhere else, but if you read him regularly he posts a lot of very even handed articles and gives credit where it's due.

A lot of his posts are completely underhanded or dripping with sarcasm.

Look at the number of negative news about Google or Android that he reported and his only comment was "Shocker" or "Android is winning".
