Sorry, but where does Gruber say that they are evil? All he says is that they started competing with Apple in a – uhm, to quote him – dickish way and that therefore, it is perfectly alright when Apple then also competes dickishly.

He does not claim that being a dick when competing is wrong or evil. To quote him: “It wasn’t unfair for Google to decide to compete directly against and copy ideas from the iPhone. That’s competition. It may be angering to Apple, but it’s not out of bounds.”
