  Apple sues former MacBook product design employee for allegedly leaking to the press 🍎 Apple says the employee, whose resume says he worked at Apple for more than 11 years, leaked information from internal meetings and documents. #technology #IP https://www.cnet.com/... https://t…

  Neil's question relates to this story (https://t.co/...). I bet the quid pro quo was a lot looser than this. Apple's lawyers might dress it up as “X for Y”; more like “Well, perhaps X, if Y.” Also, I doubt the journalist would have told anyone above them. https://twitter.com/...

  I am very curious about how Apple knew the details of a conversation a former employee had with a reporter! https://daringfireball.net/... https://twitter.com/...

  I've never had a source in Cupertino, but this lawsuit gets me thinking about how the bigger or “better” stories that I have, the deeper potential trouble for sources. Then there's disappointing the teams at Apple that worked on whatever I'm reporting about. https://twitter.com/.…

  Imagine risking a lawsuit from a trillion dollar company to get coverage of your (pre?) seed funding https://www.theverge.com/... https://twitter.com/...

  When the guy in question resigned he texted the reporter about some secret documents and the reporter said “oh can you get me some secret documents” and the guy said “sure which ones” https://www.theverge.com/...

  Some damning and saucy claims here. I love how Apple literally has a “Project X.” Did they stamp manila envelopes in big red lettering that said TOP SECRET too? People in lab coats? Klaxon alarms? https://appleinsider.com/...

  Apple also claimed the employee leaked details about an unannounced “Project X.” https://www.businessinsider.com.au/ ...

  The role of Ernst Blofeld will be played in tonight's performance by Tim Apple. Also, WTAF TIM APPLE. https://daringfireball.net/...

  Hey Apple you should add me to the list of people in that tool https://twitter.com/...

  On the employee selling Apple confidential data, there are two startups that Lancaster was involved with: Smart Mimic and Aphrodite, looks like only the former raised a million, so we are looking for a journalist that covers Apple leaks and Smart Mimic: https://daringfireball.net…

  @rsgnl A tidbit I have heard but never been able to work into a story: Apple has a special app for employees so they can bump phones and see if they are both disclosed on something and can thus talk about it together.

• @rsgnl Joe Rossignol on x

  I love the little tidbits revealed in Apple lawsuits... https://twitter.com/...

  I'm in so many convos right now trying to figure out who the Apple person leaked to is.

  When my sources get hired by Apple they enter a black hole. I wonder why... https://twitter.com/...

  Yikes, sure looks like Apple just sued a former employee for leaking its AR/VR headset plans. https://9to5mac.com/...
