Agreed. I can't see how this did anyone any harm, which means there's nothing for which to apologize, although I certainly can understand the instant "oh my God what have I done" fear, upon seeing something one thought inconsequential suddenly cease to be so, which might motivate someone to offer an apology where none is required.
In any case, whoever and wherever the anonymous "leaker" might be, she should be proud! If nothing else, this is an excellent demonstration of the high relative bogosity level of tech journalism in general. (Although I am pleasantly surprised to see that the Register let this one pass without comment. They've always been surprisingly respectable over there, as far as red-top rags go.)
