Apple holds off on serving subpoenas

Apple has agreed to not serve subpoenas (at least for now) to some journalists for revealing trade secrets before this year's MacWorld expo. Back in December, Apple was granted the right to subpoena O'Grady's PowerPage, AppleInsider, and Think Secret over some stories they released about the still-not-released Asteroid break-out box. It seems that now they're thinking about not going through with it. Perhaps Apple wants people to forget about Asteroid, or maybe they just realized that people weren't too thrilled with them for getting all lawyery. Either way, backing off was the right thing to do.
