Apple Grrl

The legal department of Apple is fast earning the Bad Apple moniker, forcing yet another site to shut down. AppleKeynotes had emerged as a great resource to see past keynote addresses, and for whatever reason, Apple legal was threatened by that. I fail to see how someone giving your company positive exposure and accolades can be bad or a threat, but it seems to be Apple’s new knee jerk reaction to their own fan base. You know, the one they built over decades of encouraging that underground, fan driven success story? Unbelievable. Making 8 year olds cry. Trying to sue people over using the word “pod”, a word that has been around for quite a long time before Apple was even a thought in someone’s head. Suing web sites and products that have iPhone in the name. Closing fan sites like Think Secret. Who knew the source of the first “family feeling” computer company would stray so far off their own path.
