Oh, great.
Merry X-Mas and all that. Unless you’re ThinkSecret. Or Fake Steve Jobs. See here.
And here.
Of course, there is still the possibility that it’s another hoax created by our favourite Steve Jobs.
Here are two groups of people who are not about to get any more of my money if this is all true:
Apple:
Sorry, guys, but coolness is part of your products’ appeal. If you behave like a-holes, I will simply dedicate more of my time writing drivers for Linux.
I know, this isn’t the first time Apple enters ************ mode. But, obviously, after their ThinkSecret victory, there is enough blood in the water to keep the frenzy alive for a while.
The EFF:
Oh, come on guys. Again, I have no idea whether FSJ’ posts are pure hoax or the real thing. But when in doubt, I always get on my soap box. So, here goes: It is not the first time that I see a report of the EFF getting a less-than-positive result. And claiming victory over a site’s shuttering, I’m sure that FSJ is devastated, now that you made clear to him that freedom of speech is your thing, but only on your terms.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah and Kwanzaa, or whatever else helps you live with yourselves.
Chris out.
