Some people do crosswords. I fill in redacted names.

The redacted email screenshot in Apple's lawsuit against Michael Ramacciotti and Jon Prosser was set in Arial (of fucking course). So I pixel-fitted the font size and used red text to superimpose the redacted names, along with surrounding words, to show which names fit the redactions exactly:

@gruber it was fooking Deep Throat! More seriously I can't help feeling a bit of schadenfreude for the stupid leak industry. My first guess is that the snitch is a pundit looking to boost their credits with Apple PR, anyway more interesting to see who snitched than to know or speculate about some lame rumors.

@glotcha Apple says the email was anonymous, so whenever sent it isn’t getting any thanks from Apple.

@gruber on MBW they mention in the evidence something about someone recognizing the apartment. Whatever may happen there's a nice link back to Steve and the iPhone bar case https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UAmWvK__qo
