Talkback
This young man has done nothing wrong, rather than cause harm to Apples interests he has gererated curiosity and in so doing promoted Apple products. The real wrondoers are in Apples employ, that is where the breach of trust originated and where any meaningful investigation should begin. I wonder, has Bill Gates taken control of Apple and replaced cool and hip with a nasty boy team?
Apple have always been ready to brandish their lawyers for the worst possible reasons. Remeber the old "look and feel" court cases of the late 80's when Apple tried to pretend that they invented the GUI? Remember the Free Software Foundation boycott of all Apple products and Apple-related development? Same tiger, same stripes as ever.
I can't see this being hip with the young market, this is just like the RIAA - and nobody <30 likes them. Is this the downward slope of Apples cool image?
Apple always does this. They take a step forward and two steps back.
At this crtical point the last thing they can afford to do is ruin their image. Again.
But we knew this suit was taking place before Macworld and so it may be the case that someone on the inside of Apple may be giving away stuff. I may be wrong but Apple may just be defending their interests and as it was before Macworld it's more 2 steps back followed by one step forward.
And they call Bill Gates the devil? F Apple and the horse it rode in on....
