Apple Trade Secret Suit Final Arguments Today
An anonymous reader writes "The final day of arguments takes place today in Santa Clara, CA, in the suit between Apple and the bloggers who outed their secrets." From the article: "Apple often dispatched cease and desist letters to the editors or these sites or initiated internal investigations to smoke out which of its employees were leaking information. But the lawsuit against the Power Page marked the first time that Apple attempted to use California law protecting corporate trade secrets to suppress the early disclosure of its product development plans by a Web media outlet. The Electronic Frontier Foundation, which is representing the Does, or the unnamed sources of the alleged information leak, contends that a ruling in this case could set a precedent that determines whether online sites can qualify as journalists who can work under First Amendment protections"

Great comment! 'I was going to switch but now ohhh man...'. I don't get it. Apple does not want their secrets to be told, don't you feel the same about your secrets? I don't see why this would stop your from buying a apple computer. If you are 'switching' then odds are that your running Windows and you are already supporting the greater of the evils and should not even speak about how 'evil' apple is being here.
