Another one from those guys at Wired - this time a look inside the Apple lawsuits against the likes of Nick Ciarelli.
Ciarelli continues to protest that his information gathering activities were legal, so why should Apple be so controlling about rumour sites?
Wired has its tin foil hat on:
"Usually, a rumor like this is good news for a company because you get the story twice," says Gary Fine, a sociology professor at Northwestern University and coauthor of Rumor and Gossip: The Social Psychology of Hearsay.
"You get the rumor about the new product, and then you get the official announcement. But in this case, maybe Apple wanted to get the story three times: the rumor, the lawsuit, and then the announcement."
