The problem with people (like you) is that they see things as 'black' or 'white' or 'good' or 'bad'. Any signs of the possibility of shades of grey are dismissed without second thought. Most if not all companies pay the media and do shady stuff under the radar while they can.

But just look at Gruber. While I still bothered to click the occasional Gruber link-bait I seem to recall he on several occasions mentioned equipment which he "had gotten from Apple". I'm assuming that means he didn't pay.

I'm sure I say stuff like that loads of places. Especially on the hipster SF blogs which for a period made this website almost unreadable.
