Apple Shuts Down Think Secret
It was great to read how Apple and Think Secret have settled their long-running law suit and delcared "positive results for both sides." The only downside is that the ThinkSecret site is being shut down. It's like saying the operation was a success, but the patient died. If this is a victory I'm not sure who won other than corporate censorship.
Nick Ciarelli, a long-time Apple fan-boy founded the site when he was in junior high school ten years ago and continued to run it as a senior at Harvard. Apple sued earlier in 2005 claiming violation of trade secrets and asking Nick to name names. With the settlement, Nick says no sources were revealed and he wants to move on.
Is there more to the story? Let me know your thoughts.
