Apple responds to Psystar lawsuit, calls it a delaying tactic
Last week, Psystar filed a lawsuit against Apple in the state of Florida alleging that Apple’s tying of Snow Leopard to Apple hardware is anti-competitive, restricts trade, and is ultimately in violation of anti-trust regulations. If this sounds familiar, it’s because similar arguments regarding OS X Leopard were already put forth by Psystar and were […]

Tuesday, September 1, 2009
The Huffington reports that the SEC is investigating what may be turn out to be insider trading of Apple stock. I have obtained copies of those internal SEC documents from a regulatory contact. Interestingly, the nature of its interest shows that the commission is not investigating, as is usually the case, the trading that occurred […]

Comments Off on Update on the $5,000 in sanctions Psystar is required to pay Apple
Once again, Dizzle of WorldOfApple is on the ball with all things Psystar. Earlier today, Dizzle obtained the transcript from the recent Psystar/Apple hearing where Judge Alsup ordered Psystar to pay Apple $5,000. Contrary to initial reports, the $5,000 in sanctions wasn’t rooted in Psystar’s motion to compel, but was rather the result of Psystar […]

Wednesday, August 26, 2009
UPDATE: The $5,000 payment Psytar is required to pay Apple stems from Psystar CEO Rudy Pedrazza lying during his deposition, and causing Apple’s legal team to incur unnecessary legal fees. As a result of filing a motion that Judge Alsup found to be completely baseless, Psystar was ordered earlier this week to pay Apple $5,000 […]

The ongoing legal saga between Apple and Psystar continues to get stranger and stranger. If you recall, Psystar bragged on its website a week or so ago that it would be deposing top Apple executives and that Apple would soon be getting “a taste of its own medicine.” The most notable figure on Psystar’s deposition […]

Palm recenlty sent a cease and desist letter to the developer of a webOS theme for Android. Palm argues, correctly, that it needs to protect the use of its trademark or run the risk of potentially losing it. According to trademark law, if you let people use, copy, adjust your trademark and don’t cause a […]

Monday, August 17, 2009
Sometimes you have to wonder if Psystar is actually aware that they’re in the midst of a lawsuit that could potentially send their employees to jail (for purposefully deleting evidence). Often times, it seems that Psystar’s main priorities include posturing up for the sake of publicity and pointless attempts to mock Apple.

The ongoing litigation between Apple and un-authorized clonemaker Psystar is turning into a full-fledged legal circus of epic proportions.
