Apple Accuses Worker of Leaks

booboothefoo writes "A former Apple Computer contract worker in Sacramento has been slapped with both civil and criminal charges for allegedly leaking Apple's trade secrets on the Internet." I think the real message here is "don't trust contractors." Or maybe "rumor sites are evil." Or maybe "Setec Astronomy."

Thanks for enlightening me on contract law, I apologized if you failed to see the statement behind my statement.
It seems that Apple has a history of going after people in order to maintain what they call "Trade Secrets." I remember quite a few episodes where they went after websites and conventional news media outlets for posting or discussing products. The People's Republic of China has a similar history of this sort of behavior, and not unlike Apple it's followers embrace it with a cultish fanatacism and a reluctance to be open minded about differing opinion.
