Posted 10/05/2011 at 12:29pm | by Adrian Hoppel

In this week's Law and Apple, Samsung makes an offer that Apple can't refuse (but does), and T-Mobile decides to join forces with Verizon and support Samsung. Hey, what do they care? it's not like they have the iPhone, right?

And finally, we'll recap the thrilling conclusion of the Clone Wars. It's like the Star Wars Clone Wars but with fewer fanboys and no Ewan McGregor.

Posted 09/29/2011 at 1:50pm | by Adrian Hoppel

Apple won an appeal yesterday in California’s 9th Circuit Court of Appeals confirming Cupertino can stop other companies from selling Mac clones.

The unanimous three-judge ruling centered on a company called Psystar that had been selling laptops and desktop computers running OS X.

Psystar sold the computers with OS X preinstalled, but attempted to get around the copyright law by including an authorized copy of the software. The plan didn't work out so well in their favor.

There's a New Kid on the Hackintosh Block

Remember all the drama between Psystar and Apple this last year? The Florida-based company has since ceased to nab any profits after Apple managed to sue them for illegally selling Hackintoshes--and rather conspicuously might we add. Well, now another company has come out of the closet with their own line of Hackintoshes: Quo Computer.

Podcast #118: Apple and Psystar Strike a Deal and iPhone Rumors

Posted 12/01/2009 at 11:13pm | by Roberto Baldwin

Apple and Psystar have struck a deal finally. That's good news for Apple and bad news for people that want cheaply made Mac computers.

Apple has secured the trademark "TabletMac" from Axitron the makers of the ModBook. What does this mean for the rumored Apple Tablet? Nothing, absolutely nothing.

And finally, rumors about a Qualcomm/Apple super team up means we might be getting an iPhone in 2011 that handles both GSM and CDMA. It's the best of both worlds!
