I was thinking, it's easy to want Apple to stop the leaks, but I imagine it's a lot harder to do that in reality, when it would most likely require ridiculously draconian security measures. I can't imagine Apple's security is lax to begin with, can you? Apple can't really win with this one, because the more draconian and secretive they get, the more people are going to complain about it. And at some point going too far with security will really hamper production.

Sort of like the Gray Powell case, Apple could simply not give prototype phones out to employees to test in the field, but then the phones never get tested in the field, which is bad for us as consumers. I can't imagine Apple isn't already doing everything they can to keep things secret to the best of their abilities.

Seems to me there is something a little more sinister going one here.

Sure Apple needs to field test their products that goes without saying, but the fact that this one Vietnam site has made hands on videos of unreleased Apple products says to me someone working in one of those China factories is hopping the border and getting goods in the hands of these guys? Why Apple has not taken action when this site is getting so many hits because of this and they know who they are is beyond me.

Or maybe these are just well made fakes, which I doubt. The only real leak that played out if you want to call it that, is the MacBook.

It's hard to control leaks like that when you use manufacturing facilities in China, with an unknown level of oversight from corporate.

Hell, even if they manufactured entirely in the US, it would be hard. Way too many people with access to the prototypes, designs and pre-release production models.

Apple could go hard like Nino Brown in New Jack City. EVERYBODY STRIP!! I think working in the nude could be good for employee morale

Do you use a Dvorak keyboard? Cause "d" and "m" are pretty close to each other on that, but not on a QWERTY keyboard. If not, I'm confused -- what does TDI stand for?

Ha! No, just a regular Qwerty...
It's probably a result of me looking at buying a VW Golf TDI.
