Psystar Will Countersue Apple

An anonymous reader sends us to CNet for news that Apple clone maker Pystar plans to countersue Apple. We discussed Apple's suit last month. "Mac clone maker Psystar plans to file its answer to Apple's copyright infringement lawsuit Tuesday as well as a countersuit of its own, alleging that Apple engages in anticompetitive business practices. Miami-based Psystar... will sue Apple under two federal laws designed to discourage monopolies and cartels, the Sherman Antitrust Act and the Clayton Antitrust Act, saying Apple's tying of the Mac OS to Apple-labeled hardware is 'an anticompetitive restraint of trade,' according to [an] attorney... Psystar is requesting that the court find Apple's EULA void, and is asking for unspecified damages."

Apple Sues Mac Clone-makers Psystar for Copyright Infringement

Months ago when a Florida-based company started selling Mac clones for as low as US$399, analysts speculated that it was only a matter of time before Apple took action. The time is now. In retaliation, Psystar claims that Apple's terms violate U.S. monopoly laws and that Apple would need to step up and defend the legality of its own terms.

Apple's Market Cap Exceeds Google

Lawrence Person writes "Mac Daily News was one of many Apple-followers to note that Apple Inc.'s market capitalization exceeded Google today. That means that the combined value of all Apple's outstanding shares of stock exceeded the combined value of all Google's outstanding shares of stock. Apple's stock is worth $157 billion and change vs. Google's $156 billion. Other companies Apple has surpassed in market cap include Cisco, HP, and Intel. Also, Apple is now worth 3 times the value of Dell Computer, despite Dell's founder and CEO declaring over a decade ago that if he ran Apple, he'd 'shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders.'"

Two Black Hat Talks On Apple Security Cancelled

An anonymous reader writes "Two separate Apple security talks have been nixed at the last minute from next week's Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas. The Washington Post's Security Fix blog reports that Apple researcher Charles Edge was to present on flaws in Apple's FileVault encryption plan, but asked Black Hat to cancel the talk, citing confidentiality agreements with Apple. Then on Friday, Apple pulled its security engineering team out of a planned public discussion on the company's security practices — which would have been a first for Apple. 'Marketing got wind of it, and nobody at Apple is ever allowed to speak publicly about anything without marketing approval,' a Black Hat spokesman said."

Psystar "Definitely Still Shipping" Mac Clones

Preedit writes "Continuing its defiance of Apple, Psystar is reassuring customers that it is "definitely still shipping" its line of Mac clones. And, in a further nose-thumbing at Steve Jobs, Psystar this week said it's now making Leopard restore disks available to its customers, even as Apple insists that Mac clones sold to date be recalled. In its story on the latest developments, Infoweek is reporting that tiny Psystar apparently has no intention of backing down in its legal dispute with the much larger Apple."

Apple (AAPL) 'No Comment' on iPhone 3G Issues

It looks a like a week's worth of bad press has finally worn down Apple (AAPL: sentiment, chart, options) bulls, as the shares are poised to close today with a loss of nearly 2%. Meanwhile, the media's full-court press isn't letting up. In the latest report to seek answers in regard to the company's response to growing concerns about the iPhone 3G's connection issues, all ABC News was able to get from Apple was "No comment." What's more, the issues are starting to take a toll on die-hard Apple fans, with ABC quoting one loyal user as saying, "I am a true Apple fan, so this is nothing to make Apple look bad. ... I think Apple should come out and tell people what's going on with these phones."

FSF's "Defective By Design" Targets Apple Genius Bars

mjasay writes "At OSCON this year, MySQL's Brian Aker made this bold statement: 'Microsoft is irrelevant ... We're more worried about Apple.' The Free Software Foundation appears to have caught the hint, and has turned its attention to all-things-Apple with a 'denial of service' attack on the Apple Genius Bars. The idea is to completely book all Genius Bars and then ask the 'geniuses,' over and over again, a few questions about Apple's proprietary ways (while, apparently, real customers with support issues are left to flounder). Lost in this anti-Apple fervor, however, is the Free Software Foundation's complete and conscious failure to protect the web. Richard Stallman has long felt that software that doesn't sit on his desktop doesn't affect his freedom, but isn't the opposite true? Why is the FSF focused on Apple when the bigger concern

Apple Not Selling iPhones in Canadian Apple Stores on Launch Day

Apple's apparently so fed up with the high pricing that Rogers is shoving into Canadian iPhone owners' faces that there will be no iPhone 3Gs sold at Apple Stores in Canada this Friday. This follows up Apple's previous action of diverting stock from Canada to Europe, and really sets the tone that they're unhappy with Rogers' $60 for 150 minutes, 75 SMS messages and 400MB data plan. So what's the deal? Canadians who still want one will have to line up early to get one of the 10-20 units per store that Rogers is getting. If we were you, we'd stay home and wait for Rogers to admit defeat, stop slapping its customers in the face and lower its prices. [Apple Insider]

Apple Suit Demands That Psystar Recall OpenMacs

Apple After Jobs

recoiledsnake writes "The connection between Apple and Steve Jobs is unlike any other brand and CEO relationship in corporate America, maybe the world. While Bill Gates has successfully transitioned himself away from his day job at Microsoft, can Apple do without Jobs at all? Once word started circulating that Jobs may be ill, Apple stock took a considerable hit, dropping more than $10 a share. And when Mr. Jobs was absent from last week's quarterly earnings conference call, the questions started again — and the stock fell again. What does this mean for corporate users of Apple for whom switching costs are high? Can Apple continue innovating in Job's absence?"

Rogers, Apple see big sales of iPhone

Rogers Wireless Communications Inc. sold out of its initial iPhone stock in a handful of Canadian cities over the weekend after it began selling Apple Inc.'s popular touch screen cellphone on Friday.

Motorola Sues Ex-Exec; Alleges Trade Secrets Given To Apple

Motorola has sued an ex-employee for allegedly breaking a non-compete agreement after he took a job at Apple as head of global iPhone sales, and helping lure away two other former Moto employees to Apple (NSDQ: AAPL). The lawsuit, filed in an Illinois court on Thursday, reports that Mike Fenger, former SVP of mobile devices for Europe, Middle East and Africa, received “millions of dollars in cash, restricted stock units, and stock options� in exchange for agreeing not to work for a competitor for at least two years after leaving Motorola (NYSE: MOT). Fenger quit the ailing handset maker in March, surfacing at the end of the month at Apple. The suit, as the WSJ points out, doesn’t actually claim that Fenger took off with specific documents, but that all knowledge he gained while working at Motorola is proprietary information.
