Memoirs of an English Major

“Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me… Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful… that’s what matters to me” - Steve Jobs
I’m a little torn on Apple today. On the whole, I’m a huge Apple supporter and for the most part, O believe they are doing a stellar job. But every so often, Job’s and company makes a fatal misstep with PR and does something I don’t like. Such is the case with the shut down of Think Secret.

Due to a couple of leaks and not wanting to reveal their sources, Apple took the site to court. After the dust settle, the site is going to be shut down. Honestly, I think this is possible the worst thing Apple could have done and I feel that even though there are other rumor sites out there, Think Secret was a staple in the whole Apple rumor sites. It was one of the many sites I would chain come WWDC.

The terrible thing is that Apple looks like a huge bully with this issues and it feels unfair for the site to completely shut down. But rest assured, there are others and the whole rumor mill will continue. So, with that said, what are you’re thoughts on the issue?
