Story: 2005: Apple's 1984?
From the "teenager with a strong journalistic streak and the ability to break stories worthy of the big guys" statement, one might conclude your reporting is journalistically weak...maybe ZD should hire him?
More than likely, however, your legal department would recognize the legal dangers of ZD representatives openly soliciting trades secrets as ThinkSecret did, then using them in using those NDA covered trade secrets in a ZD publication.
Strikes me as humorous that even though the guy's smart enough to get into Harvard, he doesn't recognize the danger of circumventing NDA information, even after four prior warning letters from Apple Legal. Gotta wonder what they're teaching these days...
