Psystar Antitrust Claim Against Apple Dismissed

Posted by kdawson on from the oh-give-me-a-clone dept.

CNet has a report that a federal judge has dismissed Psystar's antitrust suit against Apple. Observers had said that the counter-suit embodied the Mac clone-maker's best chance of prevailing and staying in business. We've been following Psystar and the dueling lawsuits since the beginning.

    apple are the worst kind of bastards that attempt to control your purchase after you've paid for it. why do we put up with this egotistical shit? i know some of you masturbate over your mac mini's every night, but the common man needs an affordable alternative to windows.

    and don't say linux, it's a shit desktop.

    That's the problem: Apple's code.

    Are you sure that the F in FOSS really means Free ? I thought that the F was for something quite other. Don't want to say the word in front of either the ladies - there appears to be very few here - or in front of the children - who are represented here in great numbers. You do see the word that I have in mind though, don't you ??

    Give it up dude, most of /. is so far up Apple's ass they get poked in the eye whenever Steve Jobs gives someone head.

    The funniest part is /. generally sanctions people stealing music, but Apple enforcing their ridiculous EULA against *people who paid for their OS* is kosher?

    Where are the "I don't believe in IP" people?
    Apple makes the RIAA look friendly. At least the RIAA doesn't tell you what kind of stereo you have to play your music on.

    Talk about double standards...
