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."

That's pretty good R2D2. Bet you can multiply really fast too. Look up "pedant" while you're at it.

Amazed by the Slashdot Response

[goldspider]

I'm truly astounded by the Slashdot community's response to this story. Isn't there anyone who will stand up for what he was trying to do?

I mean, information wants to be free, right?

what are you modding my parent down for? It's the straight shit! Corporations, like all blood-sucking baby-eating world-defiling sub-human organisms, suck. They suck worms out my cat's ass. Apple sucks. Microsoft sucks. Redhat sucks. Humans, otoh, rule.

Apple... you disgust me.

[PunchMonkey]

I for one find this extremely disgusting. I understand that businesses need to protect their trade secrets, but I think this crosses the line.

From the article:

Gutierrez agreed to settle the suit by turning over any confidential information he retained

I can already envision the appointed neural surgeon scooping out the little bit of grey that retains Gutierrez's memory of Apple.

You've got to be kidding! Score: 5 Informative???

Oooh, wait, my turn...

"Light saber" = weapon("Jedi Knight")

or how about...

"Shaken, not stirred" = drinkPreference("James Bond")

There ya go, blindingly obvious geek movie trivia, now hurry up and gimme some karma!

cooty rat semen!

To whoever modded me down...

[MmmmAqua]

You must never have seen the movie 'Sneakers', as the story's poster did.

Do some research or ask around before you decide to be an asshole next time. It was a joke, topical to a reference in the posted story.

COOTYS RAT SEMEN

[drinkypoo]

Or maybe just MONTEREYS COAST.

And now, thanks to the lameness filter, you get to see me rant! The lameness filter says to me "Reason: Don't use so many caps. It's like YELLING." Now look you sanctimonious fucks, scrabble letters are in all caps. There's just no other way to do this.

Making me pad out the comment with this crap to get my stupid little comment posted will NOT dissuade me, it just makes me waste more time on it and go further off topic.

For those who think the whole thing was off topic: You obviously haven't seen the best hacker movie of all time. Go fuck yaself.
