As a company, they seem to absolutely *hate* losing control of the PR message, so they overreact massively to even the slightest hint of a leak.<br /><br />Their fans, however, are just keen to hear any info they can about upcoming moves Cupertino is considering, so the incentive to leak is quite large.<br /><br />I see it as somewhat similar to the handling of "responsible disclosure" with security flaws. If an organisation has a reputation for fixing and then announcing flaws promptly themselves after being given a private notification, that further encourages advance notice of other flaws that are discovered. If a company has a history of not doing anything until a bug is announced publicly, then security researchers will learn that the quickest way to get a response from them it to just announce the flaw in public and let them scramble to fix it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14824694805745746190noreply@blogger.com
