Apple sues rumor site, adds...
Apple today has sued a Mac rumor site in an attempt to close down and curtail product leaks as well as help protect what it alleges to be its trade secrets. CNET.com reports that the lawsuit against Think Secret lends credibility to published rumors about its plans to offer a cheaper Macintosh and its own line of office software. "Apple on Tuesday sued the publisher of Mac enthusiast site Think Secret and other unnamed individuals, alleging that recent postings on the site contain Apple trade secrets. The suit, filed Tuesday in the Superior Court of Santa Clara County, Calif., aims to identify who is leaking the information and to get an injunction preventing further release of trade secrets. However, in filing the suit, Apple identifies specific articles that contain trade secrets, indicating that at least parts of those reports are on the mark."
