From [url="http://www.wired.com/news/mac/0,2125,66293,00.html?tw=wn_tophead_5"]Wired News[/url]. It would really suck to have Apple or for that matter any huge company breathing down throat for releasing secret information about their upcoming products. I read another article where they interviewed Ciarelli and he said he has been a fan of apple since he was 11 I think. I don't know if they are trying to make an example out of him, or some other reason they are really trying to go after him, who knows.. Its sites like his, [url="http://www.thinksecret.com/"]ThinkSecret.com[/url], and other Apple rumor/fan sites that keep people interested in their products.

Yes, they should be happy that they are getting the publicity. I really think that Apple is overeating to all of this. They should just settle down and be happy that people are interested in their products.

I think they are more interested in finding out who leaked this information... Apple does have a strict confidentiality code within it's company, just like IBM or Motorola or LG or Intel or any technology company/information company. I don't think they want to make an example out of anyone, they just want him to tell them who his sources are.
