Psystar Case Reveals Poor Email Archiving At Apple 123

Ian Lamont writes "Buried in the court filings of the recently concluded Psystar antitrust suit against Apple is a document that discussed Apple's corporate policy regarding employee email. Apparently, Apple has no company-wide policy for archiving, saving, or deleting email. This could potentially run afoul of e-discovery requirements, which have tripped up other companies that have been unable to produce emails and other electronic files in court. A lawyer quoted in the article (but not involved in the case) called Apple's retention policy 'negligent.' However, the issue did not help Psystar's lawsuit against Apple — a judge dismissed the case earlier this week."

Criticizing Spiderman3 for having "not much story" sounds pretty funny coming from a guy who thinks Hayden Christensen has the gravitas to play a young Darth Vader, and whose single greatest contribution to modern film thought - in the twenty years between Jedi and Episode 1 at least - was overestimating fanboys' desire to snuggle up to a jive-talking Sesame Street reject. And of course, writing the prequels himself in stilted, Shakespeare-lite prattle.

What Lucas meant to say, though he never will say, is that writers don't matter. Or he's still under the illusion that he is himself a talented screenwriter. Either way, I weep for what should have been a defining movie moment for the current generation of young folks. Let's face it: the prequels (as a literary object, at least) were a total failure.
