apple sues fans
Forbes on the latest Apple stupidity. Suing fan sites over product leaks. Idiots.
"Apple's current lawsuit alleges that "Unauthorized disclosure of product news diminishes the interest of both the mainstream and trade media in the launch of a new product."
Huh?
Can you think of another company whose product news garners more coverage--regardless of unauthorized disclosures--from the geek and mainstream media? Apple's products were featured not once--but twice--on the cover of Time magazine in recent years!"
(Apple may forgo the usual live streaming of the keynote address. Shooting themselves in the foot, losing coverage, in a fit of pique.)
Apple chief executive Steve Jobs, reportedly miffed over a series new product leaks, has abruptly pulled the plug on the realtime webcast and satellite broadcast of his Macworld Expo keynote, according to an Apple memo forwarded to the MacInTouch website."
