If you’re gonna go, go strong. That appears to be the strategy of Cygnus Systems, an Arizona company who on Tuesday filed a lawsuit against Apple, Microsoft, and Google. A trifecta of sorts. The lawsuit alleges that the above-named companies all have products that implement a file preview feature, which allows users to preview the […]

Apple is being sued once again, but unlike many of the recent lawsuits, this one appears to have some merit.

Psystar recently filed a lengthy, and somewhat contradictory, response to Apple’s allegations that it’s illegally selling hardware running OS X. If you recall, Apple initially sued Psystar for illegally selling copies of Leopard installed on their own hardware. In response, Psystar initiated a counterclaim where it accused Apple of having a monopoly in the OS […]

Tuesday, December 9, 2008
A few weeks ago, Apple clone-maker Psystar had its initial anti-trust counterclaims against Apple dismissed.

The judge, not surprisingly, wasn’t persuaded and tossed out those claims. Well, Psystar is apparently the animal […]

Computerworld has an interesting post discussing the specific reasons why the injunction preventing Mark Papermaster from working at Apple was granted. The injunction has been in effect for a few weeks, but the actual ruling has been sealed up until recently. The ruling states in part: “Because Mr. Papermaster has been inculcated with some of […]

The Wall Street Journal reports: For those who thought Apple invented the iPhone, Elliott Gottfurcht of West Los Angeles has a surprise.
