Apple settles a lawsuit with reporter Nick Ciarelli, resulting in the shuttering of Think Secret, his massively popular Apple rumors website.
Think Secret was known for breaking Apple stories and revealing accurate information about upcoming products.
Opinions were divided on Apple's lawsuit, with some seeing it as a violation of Apple's friendly approach to fans while others supported Apple's actions.
Apple's focus on stopping leaks of confidential information led them to take legal action against other Apple rumors websites as well.
