Apple Agrees to Hold Off on Subpoenas
ido writes "Apple has agreed to hold off on serving subpoenas related to their John Doe civil suits against some free press journalists to reveal sources releasing Apple's "trade secrets." This is related to a previous article." The original story has some more background info as well. While Apple is notorious for its secrecy before MacWorlds, Apple probably figured out that dragging people into court usually does little for one's popularity.

However, since most Mac users are low end home/grandma types who's needs are fullfilled by the i* apps, it probably doesn't matter that much.
What does the First Amendment have to do with this case? I quote:
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
How does this apply here?

Translation: Apple is a nice company! It's lawsuits are much kinder and gentler than Microsoft and SCO's lawsuits! And my iPod fits up my ass much better than a WMA Music Player! And I like to skip down the street and say "la-de-dah" while carrying my iBook.
It's just a damn shame that no one cares about seti at home and it's not a true measure of CPU performance, you fucking loser apple fanboy. go cry about apple's shit market share, bitch.
