Psystar adds Blu-Ray, and starts work on MacBook clone
Wow. Psystar not only refuses to cower in the face of an Apple lawsuit, but is actually pushing forward with new products. It recently announced that it would be shipping Mac clones with Blu-Ray optical disc drives, but since video playback is not yet fully supported by Leopard, its use will be limited to reading […]

23. October 2008
The on-going saga between Apple and Psystar is starting to make a little bit more sense. Earlier this week we mentioned how it seemed strange that Apple would be so quick to enter Alternative Dispute Resolution with Psystar when their legal allegations lack any strong legal foundation. Now word is coming out that the only […]

19. October 2008
Earlier today, I came across an ad for Psystar which was advertising a 2GHZ computer running OS X with 2GB of Ram for only $554. Psystar likes to market itself as a cheaper alternative to Apple, but a closer look reveals that a Pystar computer running OS X isn’t as cheap as Psystar would lead […]

29. September 2008
A consumer advocate in Norway has initiated a legal preceeding against Apple over its failure to open up its iTunes store to other music players.

A guy tried to get class action status and sue Apple for supposedly misleading consumers about the lifespan of the original iPhone batteries and concealing the fact that they weren’t replaceable. A judge threw out the case for lacking merit. AppleInsider has the scoop here.

24. September 2008
Apple is the target of yet another lawsuit seeking class-action status and damages for iPhone cracks and slow 3G browsing speeds. The lawsuit is available for review online, and after reading through it, I was surprised to find that the basis for many of its arguments rely upon blogs, anonymous message boards, and what can […]

17. September 2008
Appleinsider has the scoop on yet another frivolous Apple lawsuit. It seems that someone has taken umbrage with both AT&T and Apple for selling too many iPhones and subsequently slowing down the AT&T network. Ironically, this lawsuit comes days after Apple released an Iphone update that seems to have cleared up many of the previously documented problems
