The owners of ThinkSecret while somewhat anonymous are, by their own acknowledgment, affiliated in some undisclosed way with past/present owners of independent Mac retail outlets.
In the past year, ThinkSecret has published several "articles" outlining a lawsuit filed by certain retailers against Apple:

They went so far as to actively solicit people to send in confidential information -- read the articles and then check the rules covering what they're looking for.
Seems someone(s) at ThinkSecret has a bit of an axe to grind with Apple over alleged harm done by Apple to independent retailers. Since that lawsuit is going nowhere.... perhaps disseminating Apple's trade secrets is Nick dePlumber's way of getting his/her/its pound of flesh.....
