Apple Settles Lawsuit With Employee Accused of Stealing Trade Secrets

I grew up watching the original, Tuesday nights were me arguing with my mom about watching Magnum P.I. rather than whatever baseball game she wanted to watch; my argument was that she could get the baseball scores the next day, I would have to wait for summer reruns to hopefully see any missed episodes...!
Jimbo, for sure, with his little printing press...!
I wonder if the settlement amount comes anywhere close to what Lancaster got for stealing it in the first place. Regardless, he must have $cash to be able to afford satisfying Apple Legal.
What's Project X?
A new subscription service streaming Apple Originals for adults.
Wonder what 'Project X' is.... Looking to see new products from Apple in the future.
I‘m afraid it’s a rule/disease especially prevalent in, but by no means exclusive to, American online editing. If you can add one or two extra syllables to a normal word and get away with it still meaning the same thing, you must always do it. My pupils sometimes do it in their essays.
[Re surveillance at work]
Yeah without saying too much, I work in an environment where every keystroke is logged and it's not as creepy as some may assume.
I'm good friends with the guys in IT security (who they're very selective about to make sure there's a trust relationship) and I'm confident they don't have the time or interest to be inappropriately snooping around. They wouldn't have access anyway as they'd need to get cleared in order to access it.
In short, I'd only be scared if I was trying to do something very dodgy. Not sure where others work and all but IMO a lot of workplaces are just like this these days because people do steal/misuse stuff and you wanna be able to prove it when it happens.
Say what? That’s like a like kid faking a tummy ache to skip school, pouting and saying “nobody trusts me.” There’s clear evidence here that this man was trusted too much (attending meetings he wasn’t supposed to be in) and then he sold that information.
Yes!
Cook be like Higgins, Cue is T.C. … unsure I’d give Craig to be Magnum though but closest fit.
THIS should be a short opening to the next WWDC!
Facts!
Here is the thing. Apple usually pushes for criminal action on things like this. A news site reporter buys an unreleased iPhone 4, published photos and findings never claiming it’s his … goes to jail site is down!
This guy steals TRADE SECRETS and Apple gets money back?!? Like WTH?!
So what does Apple really do with the money? Moreover, what’s to say the really juicy and useful secrets haven’t been leaked prior to the deal?! Does this prevent Apple from a criminal court proceeding? (Unsure if I used the right word there)
This guy made THAT much money from Apple and he’s got it like that (connections) to be this protected to negotiate a settlement yet no criminal charges?
Now Apple closed this chapter what changes to project X will be done to improve it so much more that any competition couldn’t even touch them using these leaked trade secrets?
I kinda feel the iPhone X was project “X”
No. Gurman had accurate Apple leaks way before 2018. He joined Bloomberg before that.
Yep. An extra syllable or two sounds more authoritative and edjamacated.
I got a chuckle out of a person who would edit their post and for the edit reason would always note: “edification.”

It is a crime, not just civil, to buy favorable reporting to pump the value of an investment. And it's a crime for the journalist/publisher for their part. There needs to be prosecutions.
