'Nicks' 'Outfit' is a small internet site which trades on the theft or innapropriate gleaning of information which is not his intellectual property. He does not publish accounts. He doesn't have to as he is not a Public Company. He is however guilty as charged and Apple are in the right to pursue. How you can say 'none of us are qualified to speak on...' and then launch into your version of the world baffles me!

Now as for challenging people for infantile tactics and insults etc.. Ref. Your school yard bully espousement... To then go on and insult someone right after even obliquely rather dulls your point, so to speak. Hey, and using big words doesn't mean that what you say is any more right or wrong... Using them and then being conceited about it is the height of bad taste. At the end of the day your post just has big words in it. The actual content needs work.. Concentrate on substance before worrying about embellishment. Be careful you don't trip yourself up trying to be too clever. :smokey: 'Remember, measure life by the moments that take your breath away, not by how many breaths you take' Extreme Sports Cafe | ESC's blog | scratt's blog | @thescratt |

Applenova is definitely not part of 'Nicks' 'erm 'empire!?!?'! (*tongue firmly in cheek with the 'empire' reference!!*) Now as to the whys and wherefores of the alleged crime... 'Nick' has been using information which is not his to use. Period. So there is a case to answer... A good journalist, like a good cop, must operate within the bounds of certain rules of ethic and law. 'Nick' has not done so (for some time), and there are reasonable grounds to suspect him of actually 'feeding' his stories with information that he has solicited. His actions are irresponcible and they are also well within Apple's domain of (shall we say) prejudice. Unless someone pulls a hat out of the bag, assuming this thing ever gets to trial, or a settlement (which I doubt) then 'Nick' has got some fancy footwork to do to get himself out of this mess.... In the end I suspect he will roll over on the guys who fed him...

Gracias for the update on da history scratt. As you can tell, I am exceedingly new to the forums myself. I try making sure that I read as much as I can before I post - hense the low post count.
I only had the article on Applenova's home page by LoCash to run from describing their partnership. I have a tendency to side towards the individual (or smaller business) vs. the larger corporation. It shows in all of my posts...it comes from the more marxist side of my thinking. I have no knowledge of Nick whatsoever...I just have a predisposition to defend the figurative little guy. (How big the "little guy" is is something I do not know...just smaller than Apple that's all). As I have no history with this place, however, I also had no reason to particularily suspect that Nick has frequently done things to bring question to his journalism (I was aware of the s&d letter sent to him...but I know plenty of companies that use them frivolously to shut up news sources.) Here's to an entertaining series of legal procedings. Cheers! |

I'm sticking a fork in it, this thread is done folks.
And to whomever asked earlier, yeah, I pretty much did just pop in on the last page to drop in my own opinion.
