Well, it's a review unit -- I don't think I'm the first to have opened it, by any means, and they re-open to wipe and reinstall the OS between each reviewer.

Interesting that you missed the 25 minutes of gushing about the Zune HD in favor of one joke.

What -- specifically -- are the errors in this post? Tell me what you would change about the text, and give supporting examples.

That's what happens when I check out for an hour to podcast!

My reply is that it's pretty ballsy to take on a copyright lawyer who's been covering Psystar and its associated litigation since day one by bitching about a typo and trying to re-cast my criticisms of his piece as taking issue with his "characterizations" of the facts.

His entire piece is centered around a single, provably false "characterization": that Robert and Rudy Pedraza developed the EFI hack that enables Mac OS X to run on non-Apple hardware without any reliance on the hackintosh community. That's a joke, and he clearly didn't do the required research before writing his piece.

As for the rest, Psystar's antitrust claims *have* been thrown out, so a comparison to Microsoft is ridiculous and misleading, there's simply no way the EFI hack renders any machine "virtually immune to hackers and viruses," the Snow Leopard price is simply wrong, calling EULA law "dubious" is even more misleading as it's been so well-tested, and anyone *can* make a hackintosh for free.

Psystar tells a good story, and it's clear that Tim bought it without question. It's just too bad so much of it is based on lies and mistruths.

Every word I write is picked apart every single day in these comments, and I'm hung out to dry for even the smallest errors -- which I actually love, since it forces me to be better.

Forgive me if I'm not sympathetic to other journalists making stuff up to move papers.

Sure, sure -- I specifically meant that you don't have to pay for Rebel EFI to build a hackintosh. You're violating the EULA either way, though -- "done legally" is a bit of stretch.

The graphics are better than what I've seen on the iPhone and iPod touch.

You all insist that we're fanboys, but I'm not gonna fit in your box, man. I'm not some dancing monkey, you know? I have feelings... and dreams.

Well, except we got that independent tip this morning with the exact same information NVIDIA gave us. I don't think there's any conspiracy here, chip company execs show off random ODM pipe dreams all the time.

You get AC. The shift thing doesn't work either -- it's just not multitouch.
