Chen, jumped the gun a little when hearing the news by posting on his <a href="http://twitter.com/bxchen/statuses/1118796512" target="_blank">Twitter account</a> that Wired was being sued. Turns out Apple lawyers only "contacted" wired about the post, but shortly after this contact Wired removed the how-to-video from the site. You would think they would have seen this one coming since Apple is so aggressive about protecting their product (Psystar v. Apple comes to mind). It is never a good idea to poke the bear.</p>
