Style and Content
Gruber has described his Daring Fireball writing as a "Mac column in the form of a weblog". The site is written in the form of a tumblelog with occasional articles that discuss Apple products and issues in related consumer technology.
Common article subjects are the media's reflections on Apple (especially refuting of myths and misunderstandings), user interfaces (and the consistency thereof), software development and emerging Mac applications. Gruber also runs a linklog called The Linked List, posting brief commentary between the longer articles on the front page.
The blog has no option to leave public comments. Instead, Gruber encourages people to send him their comments by e-mail.

Famous quotes containing the words style and, style and/or content:
“I never knew a writer yet who took the smallest pains with his style and was at the same time readable.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“Switzerland is a small, steep country, much more up and down than sideways, and is all stuck over with large brown hotels built on the cuckoo clock style of architecture.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“Quintilian [educational writer in Rome about A.D. 100] hoped that teachers would be sensitive to individual differences of temperament and ability. . . . Beating, he thought, was usually unnecessary. A teacher who had made the effort to understand his pupil’s individual needs and character could probably dispense with it: “I will content myself with saying that children are helpless and easily victimized, and that therefore no one should be given unlimited power over them.””
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
