On the other end of the scale, purposely wasting time putting real resources into falsifying product info is likewise senseless.
Considering the efforts and resources (millions) Apple invests in protecting its trade secrets and strategies, what impressed me about this one is how simple and low cost it is. Instead of buying more expensive locks and armies and fortifications, they just made a series of false doors, made of paper and balsa wood, that look like real doors. There's a degree of playfulness about it.
What's senseless, is having tons of resources fortifying the front door, while cluelessly leaving the back door open. Then bitching about it, or trying to intimidate rumor sites. When snitches slip in the kitchen door and peek at recipes, then rush out out to broadcast their findings, who left the kitchen door open?
Apple is still trying to find a productive middle ground.
I agree.
