Apple Shuts Down Blog

Apple has reached a confidential agreement with popular Mac Rumour website 'Think Secret' of which one of the conditions is the aforementioned website shuts down. Apparently Apple doesn't like the idea of blogs talking about their products before they are released. It seems to be ok though that there are dozens of analysts who do the same.

Apple and Think Secret have settled their lawsuit, reaching an agreement that results in a positive solution for both sides. As part of the confidential settlement, no sources were revealed and Think Secret will no longer be published. Nick Ciarelli, Think Secret's publisher, said "I'm pleased to have reached this amicable settlement, and will now be able to move forward with my college studies and broader journalistic pursuits."

Maybe Apple is just being a little too harsh to this one blog?

There's a very real possibility all that happened. I don't think Apple holds any sort of legal ground against an independent blogger making a few bucks reporting on apple based rumours so they would have to be extra nice to him to get him to stop.
