Psystar Wins a Round Against Apple

Daengbo writes "'A federal judge last week ruled that Psystar Corp. can continue its countersuit against Apple Inc., giving the Mac clone maker a rare win in its seven-month-old battle with Apple. He also hinted that if Psystar proves its allegations, others may then be free to sell computers with Mac OS X already installed.' Apple is currently suing Psystar over its sale of Mac clones."

One of my major issues with Apple is that they force users to spend through the nose for standard hardware so they can run an OS.

I mean, my other problem is that Macs make people with more money than tech sense tell me that I don't know how to do my job, and that they "just work" - A claim I can almost instantly prove wrong by crashing the bloody things.

Just an anecdotal counterpoint to an anecdotal point... I've had 2 Apple laptops in the last8 years. The first was a Powerbook G4 500mhz that lasted 4+ years and still works just fine... it was finally underpowered is all... and my current 1st Gen Macbook Pro which is on year 3.

I have had issues with batteries on the MacBook Pro, which seem to go through their charge cycle quota rather quickly (replaced under warranty of course) and it may have a problem with the power supply as an underlying issue to that... which is a legitimate problem but one I can live with.

Otherwise I am a very happy customer. I've got an iPhone which works great, a 30 in. Cinema Display which is awesome to behold and an AppleTV with Boxee installed and a 1TB external drive attached... which also works great.

SO I can't back up the claim of shitty hardware, sorry... just typical problems with many laptops out there (battery related), especially after 2+ years of service.
