- Apple forces the shutdown of the website ThinkSecret. Looks like they were bought out and shut down. Meanwhile newer sites picking up the slack.
- A good laundry list of what is coming out at MacExpo.
- New Ultralight notebook may have silicon hard disk.
- Intel ViiV now officially dead? Hardly a surprise to me. Had a dog written all over it.
- Changes at Cisco and RedHat coming. One is weird.

All that’s said (posted) at the ThinkSecret.com website, is that a lawsuit was settled, the site will no longer publish. And the owner will now continue his college studies. So I’m quessing that Apple is paying for his tuition, as long as he keeps his leak sources to himself. I’m also guessing that the Dec 20th posting is their last. But the site hasn’t said farewell, officially. Yet.
BTW, the opening DU sound byte of “Even geniuses have off days”, would have sounded better if followed by a Professor Frink sound byte. I’m sure some can be found via the SNPP.com site.
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.”
Yes, now this formerly 19 year old (21 by now) student can continue his Harvard education, and one day become president of the United States. God help us. Surely a harvardite would never publish untruths about Apple. Oh wait, George Bush went to Harvard. QED
