A few months ago, if you weren’t paying attention, Apple filed suit against several websites that posted leaked information about Apple’s coming-soon revision to the Mac OS X line, Mac OS 10.4, “Tiger.” Apple won the rights to have the names of those sites’ sources turned over to them, so Apple could root out the internal mole who was leaking said information to the outside world. Now trust me, I know how fanatical Apple fans can be (I’m one of them) but I also know how fanatical Apple is about keeping it’s secret information very very secret. So Steve Jobs didn’t take this lightly.
Looks like there were additional lawsuits against each of the developers accused of leaking information, and one of them has fessed up to the crime, settled with Apple for some undisclosed monetary amount, and has made some quite amusing public statements apologizing for everything he’s done and for the damage he may have caused Apple, even though he admits to not wanting to hurt anyone in the process.
