Concrete threats from an imaginary person
Someone at Apple seems to have had a very bad december thus far:
Exhibit A: first thinksecret shuts down following a settlement.
Exhibit B: then Fake Steve Jobs is hit with a second suit, the company hoping to silence another voice with money. And in a truly Kafka-esque moment, the plaintiff is threatened with loss of assets unless three bad entries in the blog are retracted, each one of them being more or less obvious (the “just a single button in the iPhone” hovering even near a real issue).
I’m betting on zealous lawyers, not company policy.
Lawyers whose bumbling actions will probably end up in the doghouse on account of massive amounts of bad publicity.
