Tell me George, if you owned a mega corporation and you had two researchers threatening to drop a few % from your share price, what would you do? Open up your arms, give them a free macbook and see millions lost on the FTSE/Nasdaq? hardly..... Apple's PR protected the brand, same as Bush protected his brand and Billy G protected his brand. This is business 101 and it's time for security and security researchers to realise the golden years are long gone in todays litigation market. I can't just walk into Ford and say that all american cars are crap, blow up and kill people without expecting some force, so why do researchers think they can get away with it with this "we are protecting the world" approach? It should have been handled better by both sides, including Maynor and co. Lets hope everyone learnt the lesson, but then again... On 20 Mar 2007, at 16:14, George Ou wrote:

Sorry if this has been beaten to death, but shows you what length Apple would go to and try to destroy the reputation of two security researchers. Emails from Apple PR Director Lynn Fox is included as evidence.
