Finally an under $500 Mac

Apple is suing a local guy because on his website he has posted information that was leaked to him from Apple employees apparently.

Evidently he posted on his website about the release of the new ipod thingy and the under $500 'puter before Apple announced it. The guy says he simply did good journalism like any journalist would, and spoke to sources who gave him the information he asked for, so he put it on his site.

He can't afford a huge lawyer fee to defend himself, so is hoping for some pro-bono law firm or lawyer to help him out because he feels it falls under first amendment protection of speech.

It seems there is some bad apple working for Apple who violated their own agreement not to leak any secret information..

I feel for the guy.. he doesnt work for Apple himself afterall.. so how can he be accused of anything at all? He promotes Mac's on his website apparently though.. says it paid for his schooling (he's in Harvard now)

Anywho, vely intelesting.(or not)
