Think Secret is having trouble now. On Slashdot I read that Apple Computer has sued Think Secret for allegedly divulging trade secrets relating to its upcoming sub-$500 Mac desktop and office suite.

Apple is suing Nick dePlume, who owns and runs Think Secret, and 20 other unnamed individuals, some of whom Apple believes gave the unreleased product information to the Web site. The company also said that it believes dePlume is an assumed name, and that it will amend its complaint with dePlume's real name and the names of the other defendants, once they were determined.

In response, dePlume wrote: "We're confident that Think Secret's reporting is consistent with the right and privileges granted by the First Amendment [...] The complaint is being reviewed, and Think Secret defers further comment until it has been analyzed."
