Apple spent over 30 years developing their business model and OS... and selling complete computer systems and providing support for those systems. That's what they've done from day one.

Newcomer Psystar comes along and says: "We don't like what you're doing"

No... Apple is not gonna get along with them!]]>Dec 1st 2009 4:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/apple-dings-psystar-for-2-67m-round-two-heads-to-florida/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/apple-dings-psystar-for-2-67m-round-two-heads-to-florida/Dec 1st 2009 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/apple-dings-psystar-for-2-67m-round-two-heads-to-florida/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/apple-dings-psystar-for-2-67m-round-two-heads-to-florida/Dec 1st 2009 3:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/apple-dings-psystar-for-2-67m-round-two-heads-to-florida/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/apple-dings-psystar-for-2-67m-round-two-heads-to-florida/

I dislike it as well. Finding posts without an expand all when the replies are hidden is a pain.

There are still numerous JavaScript errors causing problems.

In IE the ranking buttons still do not work.

I guess it is asking too much to actually test before you go live.

They should do a paper trace and take that money away from them.

I hope the families of Poopstar have to eat brea and water and live in the streets so that Apple share holders can get an extra $0.005 increase in stock value.

F-U Poop star and I hope to see you on the street begging for money to buy food.

Apple doesn't give a F*CK if you install tiger on your PC. Apple sells hardware to run their OS, Psystar is selling hardware that runs Apple's hard word and their bread and butter.

Do you know what is going on?]]>Dec 1st 2009 3:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/apple-dings-psystar-for-2-67m-round-two-heads-to-florida/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/apple-dings-psystar-for-2-67m-round-two-heads-to-florida/
Yes, You dont really buy a Ferrari or a Bugatti Veyron.. If you keep that car dirty and put loser add-ons to it Ferrari can demand their car back.

Although I wonder... normally if you form an LLC. You yourself are not liable for claims against the company, just the company itself. So if Psystar files bankruptcy, the owners can walk away right?

Part of your job as an employee is to research the company you are applying for. The applicants should have known full well the issues surrounding Psystar. To use an analogy, it's as if you're blaming law enforcement for putting drug dealers out of business. While certainly Apple nor Psystar are anywhere near that extreme, there was certainly some inkling of the trouble to come. ]]>Dec 1st 2009 6:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/apple-dings-psystar-for-2-67m-round-two-heads-to-florida/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/apple-dings-psystar-for-2-67m-round-two-heads-to-florida/Dec 1st 2009 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/apple-dings-psystar-for-2-67m-round-two-heads-to-florida/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/apple-dings-psystar-for-2-67m-round-two-heads-to-florida/
Uh, Microsoft? Oh Psystar! Right..]]>Dec 2nd 2009 5:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/apple-dings-psystar-for-2-67m-round-two-heads-to-florida/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/apple-dings-psystar-for-2-67m-round-two-heads-to-florida/
If I go to Shelby and buy a souped-up Mustang, they have right to profit from the service, plus the cost of parts, right? Likewise, assuming Psystar did things properly (which they admitted they didn't), couldn't they build a machine, soup it up, and sell me the parts along with charging me for service? As long as Psystar is installing the specific copy I buy from them onto the machine, shouldn't that be okay?

I worry about the slippery slope, wherein creators of all products can dictate to me how I may (and may not) use them, without allowing me to improvise. Moreover, given that a copy to RAM is considered an infringing copy of OS X, I worry about the ability to, say, record TV shows and watch on my own schedule. Can TiVo be sued under DMCA for enabling people to infringe copyright? Slingbox?

If this decision is not an implicit statement that I cannot use what I purchase how I choose (without profiting from other people's work), then how is it different?]]>Dec 1st 2009 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/apple-dings-psystar-for-2-67m-round-two-heads-to-florida/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/apple-dings-psystar-for-2-67m-round-two-heads-to-florida/Dec 1st 2009 6:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/apple-dings-psystar-for-2-67m-round-two-heads-to-florida/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/apple-dings-psystar-for-2-67m-round-two-heads-to-florida/
For example, now that TV is digital, can Comcast/NBC sue Slingbox or TiVo under DMCA for illegally enabling the copying of a television program (a la Napster)?

Moreover, in your opinion, how should lawmakers/the judiciary create a reasonable test that protects copyrights while also protecting the after-market (e.g., paying someone to tweak my OS, or install it where it doesn't normally go, etc.)?]]>Dec 1st 2009 6:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/apple-dings-psystar-for-2-67m-round-two-heads-to-florida/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/apple-dings-psystar-for-2-67m-round-two-heads-to-florida/The big difference is you license software as opposed to owning it. ]]>Dec 1st 2009 8:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/apple-dings-psystar-for-2-67m-round-two-heads-to-florida/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/apple-dings-psystar-for-2-67m-round-two-heads-to-florida/
Psyster has made an agreement with Apple that allows them to continue. They just don't pre-load OS X.

But man, that's a lot of moolah to get dinged for, when they build fewer than 800 machines.

And out of the 768 units they did manage to sell, I bet most of them went to tech journalists or bloggers who just wanted to write about them, not people who actually wanted a hackintosh.

Psystar is so completely stupid about this that I find it hard to believe they even got off the ground at all. I mean it's like they have absolutely no common sense.
