In case you missed it, Gawker-owned tech gossip site,
Valleywag, earlier this week, thought it would be fun to offer $100,000 to
anyone who could give them access to the Apple tablet for an hour. Apple,
shockingly, was less excited about the contest. The company sent a cease and
desist letter to the blog by way of a team of lawyers.
The blog claims that the letter, which includes the line "Apple
has maintained the types of information and things you are soliciting ... in
strict confidence" serves as "the most concrete evidence (from Apple itself, no
less!) yet that there may indeed be a tablet in the works."
Apparently not enough to warrant $100,000, the site is instead
awarding a DVD of Legally Blonde 2, a $25 Zune Marketplace giftcard, and a set
of steak knives that is, according to reports "fabulous."
Let's hope they actually deliver of their steak knifey
promises, least they receive another legal notice.

Mr. Heater;
Your use of "least" in your closing sentence is completely inappropriate. The word is "lest", Old English conjunction for "fear and apprehension"; "He was hesitant to speak out lest he be fired..."
If you are to be a wordsmith please learn to use the language.

not sure "inappropriate" is the best word for the first sentence there. I believe you meant to say incorrect? just sayin...
Good post, I enjoyed it, even with the grammatical errors
