Apple Fails Due Diligence in Trade Secret Case

Posted by samzenpus on Thursday September 15, 2005 @12:03AM from the do-your-homework dept.

Brett writes "Despite claims to the contrary, it now appears that Apple didn't do any serious investigation inside the company before they sued AppleInsider and the PowerPage. This is quite a bit of a problem because Californian law and First Amendment precedent requires Apple check up on itself before threatening journalists. From the article, "It appears that Apple has adopted a shoot-first, ask questions later approach to dealing with rumors sites. The company took no depositions, required no oaths from its employees, and failed to subpoena anyone related to the company or the development of the device in question.""

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't really have any love for Apple, I just love thier computers. I think that OSX is the slickest, most well designed OS you can get, and no one can deny the build quality and attention to detail that goes into Apple hardware. But yeah, other than that they are just like any other company, just out to make a profit.
