Thieves are also not cool. That is the point of Apple's lawsuit against Think Secret. As an owner of 17 Macintosh models since 1984's original 128K Mac, I want Apple to do whatever it wants in order to survive. Think Secret crossed the line between rumors and theft of trade secrets of Apple. In Apple's position, I also would sue and prosecute the owner of Think Secret. Apple through the years has threatened to sue sites where trade secrets were illegally released. Apple's position hasn't changed. Rumor sites have usually take down stolen pictures of Apple's products, for example, in response to contact from Apple's legal department. I think many hardcore fans of Apple understand Apple's position. I applaud Apple's lawsuit. Go Apple!!!!!! Yeah!!!!.
