Not So Secret Apple - The Daily Beast:
“After my Apple news site, Think Secret, published details of Apple’s Mac mini two weeks before the product was officially announced, the company sued me in an attempt to ferret out the leaker. (I was a freshman in college at the time, and the prospect of being sued by one of the world’s largest technology companies suddenly made my history final seem a lot less stressful.)”
I always assumed Ciarelli got a payout for closing Think Secret, and I assumed that payout was conditioned on him not speaking about why he was sued.
Either those were bad assumptions, or Ciarelli is putting his money where his mouth his when he says Apple’s legal team has gotten soft. Regardless, interesting read.
