OK Apple, you suck. Think Secret, RIP

So the legal battle between Think Secret, and Apple has been settled. Think Secret dies, but didn't have to name it's sources... A win for journalism for sure, but still Apple, i call foul on you.

I know Apple likes it's secrets, who doesn't, especially when you keep things secret up until launch, in case you can't announce. Managing expectations is a great thing to do. But I think Apple going after sucha popular fan site, is like the RIAA suing it's customers. I have zero doubt in my mind, that Apple's successes are 70% fanboy driven. Fanboy's act like evangelists at their schools, workplaces, and homes. Fanboys wait in line for the latest products, selling them out in a matter of days. Fanboys buy products that they don't need, don't like the feature set of, or that just plain suck, because they have an Apple logo.

That's all great, but going after the fanboy's rumor sites, because they scoop some intel.... Weak sauce.

I'm sure this action won't slow the fanboy role, but it's just one more thing to be remembered down the road.
