Psystar Will Countersue Apple
An anonymous reader sends us to CNet for news that Apple clone maker Pystar plans to countersue Apple. We discussed Apple's suit last month. "Mac clone maker Psystar plans to file its answer to Apple's copyright infringement lawsuit Tuesday as well as a countersuit of its own, alleging that Apple engages in anticompetitive business practices. Miami-based Psystar... will sue Apple under two federal laws designed to discourage monopolies and cartels, the Sherman Antitrust Act and the Clayton Antitrust Act, saying Apple's tying of the Mac OS to Apple-labeled hardware is 'an anticompetitive restraint of trade,' according to [an] attorney... Psystar is requesting that the court find Apple's EULA void, and is asking for unspecified damages."
++ for openSUSE 11, a great release all around.

This sounds like the ghost of Theodore Roosevelt rose from the grave because he didn't like the way the USA was headed especially in the technology area.
For those who don't know Teddy Roosevelt was one of the last few true Conservative Republicans before the fake Conservatives the Neocons took over. True Conservative Republicans conserve nature and resources, and protect liberty and freedoms and stop companies from becoming monopolies and abusing their power and trying to ruin smaller companies. Sort of the opposite of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.
Teddy Roosevelt was upset over the DOJ's verdict with Microsoft, the DMCA allowing the MPAA and RIAA to bully consumers and sue them until they are broke by removing the "fair use" clause of the copyright act, and now that Apple is bullying Psystar, Teddy Roosevelt the trustbuster is back as a ghost and he is majorly upset at what has become of the USA, its foreign policy, and how companies like Microsoft and Apple have screwed over smaller companies. So he speaks softly, but carries a big stick and helped Lawyer up Psystar by citing some of the laws he worked with as well as some that others had passed as well.
I have one word for him, "Bully!" good job Mr. Roosevelt, we need more politicians to be more like you were when you were alive.
Remember, Slashdot does not have a -1 disagree moderation, and no, troll, flamebait, and overrated are not substitutes.
-1 Overrated
That should read "-1 I Disagree"
Seriously, /. should just replace "Overrated" with "I Disagree."
The only reason people use "Overrated" is because it doesn't come up for metamod, and it applies negative moderations anyway.
DifferentThink is the art of believing in two incompatible things at the same time.
