"That's funny...I am sure you say that the RIAA and Microsoft are treating its customers like potential thieves with DRM...but when Steve Jobs ttreats its employees the sAME way, it is a smart business move."Umm you f**king moron this has nothing to do with Microsoft, the Riaa, or Treating Hardworking Honest employees, who mind you have signed away that right to disclose infromation about top secret products they are working on. this is about sniffing out disgruntled employees who breach contracts and are leaking information to the public. I dont care if it was Microsoft, Apple, or the RIAA who had employees leaking this sensitive information it is in the best intrests of all those companies to plug that leak as soon as possible. Its called protecting trade secrets, so before you go to another Apple thread to troll some more make sure you cover up your motives a little bit better.
What the f**k does this have to do with DRM. When you work for a company you sign an NDA. You violate the NDA you deserve to get sued. If a company can figure out a way to find leakers like this then it's a lot better than suing the websites that post the fake information.
"Why is Apple so secretive? Many think it's a quirk of Jobs' control freakery, but it's simply good business and good marketing."Jobs is like that because Gates and other companies has screwed him over so many times by taking ideas and using them.

You're being dugg down because that's both played out, and works best when step two isn't immediately obvious (To normal people, not just yourself).
