Lawsuit Between Apple and Psystar Moves Toward Settlement
An anonymous reader writes "Psystar and Apple have agreed to alternative dispute resolution to keep the public eye away from their disagreements, and to reduce legal costs. This will eliminate any rulings that would set a precedent over Psystar's claim that Apple is violating anti-trust laws by tying Mac OS X to only their hardware and thus creating a monopoly. This could result in a profit for Psystar's business, but eliminate their line of open-computing Mac-compatible PCs. On the other hand, what's to stop a similar company from doing the same thing?"
How will Apple make their money off of selling incremental updates to their OS if they make it download-only?
"In order to update your OS to the latest version with the latest security enhancements, you must pay us or buy a new computer."
That's damn-near extortion, right there.
Still waiting on Serviscope_minor to wake up to fucking reality and realize that Jessica Price isn't going to fuck him.
