From Bruce, when asked why he says we (Apple):
Those comments have been blown way out of proportion. I'm networked into the company, because I previously worked there. I left to start a real-estate consulting firm. Anyone who works for Apple never leaves Apple, theirs a bond that can't be explained.

Sure it can, get the programmers to include a unique visual identifier tag on the web pages for every employee so that the next screen-cap reveals the account the leaker is using, if not the identity.
This website seems to be available to every Apple employee. I suppose they could have different tags for different departments, but that wouldn't really narrow it down.
Yet again Apple prove that they do in fact do **** all real world testing during developing new hardware. They assume 'it just works' Well we all know what assuming does - it makes an ass out of you and me apple.
If the Johnny Ive and Co would all stop sucking off SJ at every given moment then perhaps they would have noticed this flickering issue. And to not be able to give the customer a realistic fix time is a ****in disgrace.
Apple QC is proving more and more dog **** with every new hardware release. Very poor indeed.

Yeah that is getting pretty tiring. Plus nobody is buying it.
Anyone want to take bets on the next bug that will be found? Apple seem to have been on a roll for the last couple of weeks. Hopefully more of these confidential memos will help. I'm off to buy some popcorn!
Your comment would apply if all units were affected. As it is, I've only seen about 1 or 2 users complain about this issue on MacRumors and dozens of users that have had no issue at all.
So this isn't quite widespread and as such can have slipped through QC undetected.
This is getting ridiculous. Apple does owe their customers a solution but they don't owe their customers the rights to internal support docs. Who do people think they are to expose a company's private documents on the web that they shouldn't have access to? This is getting annoying. These people need to be arrested.
As a customer, aren't you happy that you get access to this information? If you are not happy, you can always skip these threads/articles and get all information for Apple.com.
I am happy with those leaks.
At least this time Apple acknowledge the problem right away. You have no idea what I've bin through with my REV A MBA with hinge problems and overheating, while nothing of those faults got officially acknowledged!
Fair to say, eventually Apple solved my problems really good by offering me a full option 17" MBP as replacement. This one is the most stable and reliable Apple laptop I've ever owned.
Now i give the MBA a new shot with the new 2010 version. fingers crossed..
Let's pray this is really just a matter of a software update, and no bad (lead-free) solder contacts or NVIDEA problems.
With kind regards,
Bas

It may be an issue, but I'm not having it on the same model MBP13. I use the mDP->DVI daily and mDP->VGA for projectors weekly.
I'm guessing this might be due to the type of monitor (s)he has.
It can get better... they could add one of those 2-dimensional barcode thingies on each page, as a combo of web client IP address and/or login id and timestamp.
Of course, the leaker would just have to blur out the barcode or tag and it's all defeated.

Really???
With your logic all whistle-blowers should be arrested.
So when Jeffry Wigand blew the whistle and released internal documents about how the tobacco company was adding nicotine to get ppl hooked and how poisonous cigarettes were, should go to jail?? I could list hundreds more examples..
Man your love for apple knows no bounds, it's disturbing.
If the rumors about the Apple police are true, then I doubt this guy has much time left at Apple.
