Apple Drops Pursuit of Site With iPhone Hacking Tips

Notoriously secretive Apple Inc. has dropped legal threats against BluWiki, a Web site that hosted discussions about how to use computer software other than the company's iTunes with iPods and iPhones. Apple said it's calling off the dogs because it no longer uses the software code that was the subject of the online discussion, but BluWiki's pro bono lawyers at the Electronic Frontier Foundation claimed victory, saying that Apple had backed off of overreaching legal claims.
