Said on The Talk Show With John Gruber

“Coke never acknowledges Pepsi. I think in the history of Coca-Cola, they have never once even acknowledged that Pepsi exists. And every once a decade, Pepsi comes out with an ad campaign that talks about Coke, right? … And Samsung is clearly the Pepsi.” — John Gruber, The Talk Show With John Gruber

“If you talk to people who work in the ad tech industry, they'll tell you — if they could have recordings of what you talk about all day, they wouldn't want it. You know how much work that would be, how much space it would take up? It would be the least efficient way to serve you targeted ads.” — John Gruber, The Talk Show With John Gruber
