Judges of California's Sixth District Court of Appeals questioned lawyers on both sides of an issue pitting Apple Computers against three websites that focus on reporting about the Cupertino-based computer company.

Conversely, Apple, Intel, and several other companies, argued that releasing such information put the companies at a competitive disadvantage.
