Interesting memo. The folks at Google were livid when early pictures of the Android G1 leaked, the contractor responsible got fired over it. I knew of a few other cases as well, Google kept pretty tight tabs on what was going on (aka surveillance) so leaks were identified pretty quickly.

That people don't take confidentiality seriously enough to not send it out to the world is a problem. The response though seems a bit over the top. I suspect it would have been more productive to acknowledge the angst which results in this sort of behavior than go all 'black helicopter.'
