 Psystar not assign and go to counterattack.,Advances, Story, Ideas, Apple clones, history

Not to give Psystar won, the company that produces the notorious Mac clones with brand Open Computer, and meets the case brought by Apple for direct violation of the EULA Mac OS X. The licenses, he says, are genuine.

As you will recall, first Apple had remained curiously silent, then it is simply exploded, reaching even to request the withdrawal of all existing machines and already distributed by the company producing clones. It ‘obvious that the question becomes vital, especially considering that such a request, if accepted, would lead to virtually bankrupt Psystar.

Hence the answer. Not only will fight in court, but have availed themselves of Carr & Ferrell LLP, the law firm that has already beaten Apple during the dispute with Burst.com, risoltosi in an agreement by well extrajudicial 10 million dollars. After all, they say to Psystar, Apple earns for every Open Computers sold, as each licence Leopard is purchased from the Apple Store at full price sales.

Hard to say if a thesis of this kind can stand up in court, but it goes without saying that it is in full right of Apple defend its intellectual property especially now that between Mac do-it-yourself and assembled homemade, clones into circulation starting to be a little ‘too many.

Netflix Player: Apple TV competitor by $ 100?

Monday, May 26th, 2008 | Gizmo News with No Comments »


Netflix is the largest portal of the United States that offers rental and live streaming of movies, TV series and other multimedia content and, at least with regard to the American market, applies fully among the most aggressive competitor to the iTunes Music Store. In recent days, in particular, talks about the launch of Netflix Player Roku, a device that allows streaming directly on the TV at home without any PC and that, according to some, should frighten Apple TV.

Although, according to what is reported by C | News, the low quality of streaming, the absence of HD content in the catalog and a limited number of titles (at least for now) available to users could discourage the use of Netflix Player, we question whether the selling price of $ 99.99 player (against $ 229 repono TV) and how monthly subscription for the use of films to a starting price of $ 8.95 (unlike the pay-per-view chosen from all other portals, including iTunes Music Store) can not act as an incentive to sales.
