Yup, nothing ever leaked while Steve Jobs was CEO

but that's the difference between everyone else and apple... this is what drives apple... I don't even remembering hearing anything about the surface before it was announced...
the only way to counter this is to announce products and THEN start manufacturing them...leading to at least a few month waiting time. I'm not sure people would want that
Surface couldn't leak since Microsoft hadn't started mass producing them. They didn't even know what they we're going to charge for it.

You want to be surprised, stop following rumor sites.
Build them all here in the USA in one giant factory.

agreed...some people just can't let go..ever..my aunt talks about how better things were when she was young...daily, my uncle says she is "misremembering"..
Fine - if you only want to sell them in the US, and pay the substantial premium the extra costs and reduced sales would create. Do you know what proportion of Apple products are sold in the US vs elsewhere?![]()
Huh? Either I'm not getting your point or you are saying Apple (any entity designed for profit) limiting access to future plans/releases is somehow related to "personal freedom"?Love these updates on Apple policies: they are like little reminders that no matter how totalitarian Apple gets, they are always ready to take it up another notch.
Here's a quote from Tim Cook:
"We try very hard to keep our roadmaps secret and confidential, go to extreme actions to do that, however that doesnt stop people from speculating and wondering. We can never stop that. Thats one of the great things about this country. So we wont spend any energy trying to stop that."
So is this Tim Cook's definition of freedom (in relation to Apple policies at least)? That we have the right to speculate and wonder about what kind of phone/computer will be coming out?
Think about that as a standard by which personal freedom is measured.
It goes way beyond MacRumors these days. CNN has been reporting on the iPad mini - a product that hasn't even been officially announced yet - for two weeks. It's a frequent topic of discussion on my Facebook feed. Newspapers and magazines "report" it. Unless you choose to stay off the Internet completely, turn off the TV, don't read any national publications, and basically live in a cave, you're going to hear about these things.You want to be surprised, stop following rumor sites.

My point is simply the mentality, not the jurisdiction. I'm not saying that it IS a definition of personal freedom, only imagine if the same mentality was applied to something other than a manufacturer of electronic devices.
Of course, this wouldn't be such an issue if people really did believe that Apple was an entity designed for profit and not their best friend in corporate form.

The leaks are a product of MacRumors and others such sites.
The original iPhone and the original iPad were the best kept secrets. The iPad shot you have there was found less than 24 hours prior launch. Not the great scoop you think it is.Yup, nothing ever leaked while Steve Jobs was CEO

Id say you chose a pretty poor quote to argue about. Tim cook is just saying he cant help what people and websites are going to talk about. Of course he would like to stop them from trying to get specifics about future products if he could but he knows he cant because journalists are allowed to report on whatever they discover. There's no point in arguing about some little statement he made. No one expresses themselves perfectly.
How about doubling down on quality control?
security is tight where they can control it, aka software.
