Apple Accuses Worker of Leaks

Posted by pudge on from the so-sad-and-yet-not-really-sad-at-all dept.

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."

    "An unknown defendant called Doe 1 is also named in the suit." Apple: "We don't know who they are yet, but were suing them irregardless...Why? because I have a MIGHTY NEEED to sue nameless individuals..."

    News Corp, too. I think they're called News Ltd. in Oz, but I'm too lazy to be bothered looking it up. They own just too damn much. Rupert Murdoch scares me. Anybody who would renounce citizenship in his own birth-country purely for business ends isn't the kind of guy I want in charge of telling me what I get to see and hear every day.
