Hi All, Pretty funny from Cringely... best read in HTML...
Crab Apples: Apple acolytes rushed to the defense of the mother ship this week following my blurb on the company�s lawsuits against rumor blogs. Reader Steven T. asks, Doesn�t Apple have the right to protect its trade secrets? Sure, but suing teenage bloggers is a nasty way to go about it. Those guys didn�t sign any nondisclosure agreements with Apple. Even Woz thinks his former garage-mates should call off the legal hounds. Meanwhile, a superior court judge has issued a preliminary ruling ordering the sites in question to fork over their sources, saying bloggers should not be accorded the same privileges as regular reporters (which also includes early liver failure and kowtowing to surly editors). You�d think that these guys had outed a CIA agent or something. http://www.infoworld.com/article/05/03/11/11OPcringely_1.html ...and other stuff... I liked the prurient parts.
