I dont understand the implied correlation between, what you call, irresponsible disclosure and "wanting to hurt apple". Where did you get this impression from?

edit: Typo.

Thanks, you are right. If he refers this post (which i believe he does), he is indeed right.

Anyhow, personally i wouldn't exclude something like this, e.g. suing, as a last resort. Anything that changes apples attitude towards security or at the very least, enhancing the value of security as a product qualifier.
