If you thought Mac cloners Psystar were going to go on the Apple chopping block without a whole lot of fuss...think again. The case is about to get a lot more interesting now that their defense team seems prepared to play the antitrust card in court. As Colby Springer, one of the lawyers on Psystar's team noted: "This case has been mischaracterized. There are a lot more complicated issues than just copyright or trademark. There are more complex issues [than those] in respect to the end-user licensing agreement. And antitrust issues come into play, too..." When pressed further about the situation in the interview, Springer added: "But take a look at the website of the lead attorney representing Apple," he said. "Apple knows where this is going." I seriously doubt that an antitrust defense will get Psystar off the hook in the end, but it seems to be their best legal option by far. In fact, they probably prepared for this from the beginning. At any rate, it will certainly open up some interesting debates in the coming months. [ Computer World via Boing Boing Gadgets ] ... Source: arstechnica.com --- 6 days ago

Once "unauthorized" Apple clone maker, Psystar, was sued by Apple, we fully expected it to challenge the legality of Apple's EULA (end user license agreement) which forbade putting the software on non-Apple hardware (a provision that even Apple has been known to ignore ). The comments to our post suggested that a more likely option would be for Psystar to claim that Apple was violating antitrust laws in requiring the software and hardware be bundled that way. Indeed, it looks like both of those predictions were correct. Psystar's response is likely to focus on both the legality of the EULA and whether or not Apple violated antitrust law . As predicted, this case may be very interesting to watch -- and the end result could be very important for many other companies in the tech space. Permalink | Comments | Email This Story ...

Now another company is planning to offer machines that emulate Macs, but with a difference – if you wants to fun OS X you have to buy and install the software yourself, ZDNet reports. However, as that involves hardware running specialized firmware called the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI), it’s not easy. In a statement later removed from its website, Open Tech said that "OS X Leopard will not be pre-installed or included.
