 Nick Ciarelli, publisher of ThinkSecret , the number one website that Apple seems to despise, has agreed to close it's doors as a condition for settlement in an agreement with Apple regarding the lawsuit filed against them. Nick gets to keep his sources a secret, and Apple gets to quiet ThinkSecret's expository reporting. Being a lone college student with a small staff, it is no wonder Nick caved in to the mounting legal pressure. December 20, 2007 -PRESS RELEASE Apple and Think Secret have settled their lawsuit, reaching an agreement that results in a positive solution for both sides. As part of the confidential settlement, no sources were revealed and Think Secret will no longer be published. Nick Ciarelli, Think Secret's publisher, said "I'm pleased to have reached this amicable settlement, and will now be able to move forward with my college studies and broader journalistic pursuits." Although there are still a few websites left that cater to the Apple community in a way that the Jobs Mob does not particularly like, the loss of ThinkSecret will definitely be viewed as a bad thing by many in the Apple community. Another dissenting voice in the blogosphere dies, and the news becomes more bland and in lockstep with what a manufacturer wants you to hear.
