Think Secret to close following Apple lawsuit settlement
Following a three year lawsuit in which Apple attempted to force Mac fan-site Think Secret to reveal the names of industry sources leaking privileged information, a settlement has been made that will see the site take its tipsters identity to the grave.
“Apple and Think Secret have settled their lawsuit, reaching an agreement that results in a positive solution for both sides. As part of the confidential settlement, no sources were revealed and Think Secret will no longer be published. 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’” Think Secret Official Statement
