Former Apple board of directors member Jerry York, who died last March, was quite the talker. He divulged confidential information about Apple and Steve Jobs to the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and Fortune, according to those publications. It was all off record stuff, but now that he's dead the deal's apparently off. And York looks like a bit of a jerk. "With York's death, the off-the-record agreement is no longer in place," says Fortune's Doron Levin. Even better - former New York Times correspondent Micheline Maynard actually outs her source in the process of saying she'd never out a source: "Jerry York told others of us details about Steve Jobs' illness. To me, a promise is a promise." The more I read that Tweet the more my head spins. The hypocrisy is impressive. "I'd just like everyone to know that I'd never divulge that Jerry York, one of my sources, is a source."
