Apple vs The Rumor Sites

There's been a lot of media coverage about this and frankly, I'm glad that Apple sued Think Secret and all those rumor monger sites. Here's my take on it...these sites exist to make money off of Apple's secrets. To me there is something fundamentally wrong with that. Think Secret has become such a popular site and it is making Nick DePlumme (or whatever his real name is) so much money that off of Apple's trade secrets that it kinda makes me wanna puke.

Maybe it's because I run a web site of my own and know how much hard work you have to put in it in order for it to be successful. These sites, on the other hand, depend their success on some Apple employee (who is probably getting a cut of the action) to illegally give out trade secrets. Come on, enough is enough...

Apple, like any other company, has every damn right to find out who is leaking their secrets. And if that means they need to steam roll over Think Secret and all those other sites, fine.
