The Collective will be out in force on this one. Embrace for the macboi onslaught.

Yep, it's sad for the internet journalism, it's sad for the Mac loving community. On the other hand it must be one of the best outcome possible for a student guy who don't want to go through legal hassle and the possibility to lose $$$.

The form of the text might just be PR stuff crafted by Apple though and part of the settlement.

Truly shameful. The kid started the site when he was 13 yrs old, and revealed the Mac Mini when he was 19 at Havard, but before Apple announced it. Apple was in their right to sue/protect themselves, but this bullying is shameful. I beleive the site was actually an asset to Apple. How stupid.

There's another possibility. "...I'm pleased to have reached this amicable settlement..." tells me Apple may have paid him to shut down.

Yeah nutmac, "pleased" is just code for "well-paid".

I think it's very likely he was paid - Apple was losing this case before the court and certainly in the court of public opinion.  If I was the kid's lawyer, I would have asked for money to end Apple's pain here (a small amount for apple)

What's more shameful though - this episode or Microsoft's bogus patent bluster against Linux.  I know what has a much larger impact on consumers and the marketplace.  Of course Paul reservers all his ire and outrage for Apple and lets MS by with a pass (sure, he'll say MS's claims are not supported, but he won't call the company shameful, a liar or any of the accusations he levels at apple).  Wonder why.

Huh? The guy was winning the case so Apple paid him to stop the site.

Although not related to journalism, I'm sure Paul would stop writing should just about anybody offer him enough money.

Seriously, try to hate Apple just a little bit less, can you?

Wow, Paul seems to be foaming at the mouth recently.  Could it be related to Apple's recent success?

- Net Worth more that Dell.

- iPhone Operating System more used than Windows Mobile.

- iPod and iPhone sales continuing to go up.

- People who LOVE their virtual keyboard.

- A mac being named 'fastest windows notebook this year' by PC World.

Its gotta be tough being Windows shill this time of year.

Whatever.

Happens on both sides of the fence people.
