> Slepak told Jobs he believed the reaction to the change across the entire internet was negative, including from *Daring Fireball’s* John Gruber, who Slepak called Jobs’ “biggest fan.” Jobs reportedly responded by sending a link to Gruber’s commentary on why Apple changed [section 3.1.1](http://daringfireball.net/2010/04/why_apple_changed_section_331) of its developer agreement. “We think John Gruber’s post is very insightful and not negative,” the Apple CEO allegedly said.

Sorry, but I call bull$hit on this one. Steve Jobs has been emailing responses a lot lately, but calling John Gruber “insightful” sounds way too complimentary and generally not the right tone to be coming from Jobs.
And it’s not like Gruber needs his ego to grow any bigger than it already is. I generally like what the guy has to say, but let’s get real here.
This sounds like a made-up story from a fan of Daring Fireball to me. But who knows?
