Ad hominem, dude. Ad hominem. “He is a fanboy!”/“He is not neutral!” is a classic ad hominem when not backed up by actual arguments :)

How long have you been reading his blog for? In order for my arguments to make sense to you, you will have to read more than just couple of his recent blog post.

I don't think it is ad hominem, I think it is widely accepted that he is an Apple fanboy. Your mileage may vary.

I am a happy macbook/iphone owner (but not exclusive apple user) and I think he is an apple fanboy.

I have been reading Daring Fireball since 2004 or so.
