Mac Mini’s Murdered in cold blood. Vista Sucks….battery life. Plus WE GOT BUTTONS!
I’m going to make this short and sweet then let you read the rest of the article for yourselves.
SUCK IT PSYSTAR!
Appleinsider reports:
“A California judge on Tuesday granted Apple’s motion to dismiss counterclaims on the part of unauthorized Mac clone maker Psystar, who charged the Mac maker with violating antitrust laws through its vigorous attempts to block third parties from selling rival Mac OS X-based computers.”
“Central to Psystar’s complaint was that Apple’s Mac OS X operating system is not reasonably interchangeable with other operating systems such as Microsoft Windows and therefore comprises its own distinct market. The clone maker alleged that Apple has engaged in various forms of anti-competitive conduct in order to “protect its valuable monopoly in the Mac OS market” and that it has also run advertising campaigns to help define the Mac OS as a product separate and distinct from other operating systems.
Apple responded to Psystar’s argument by asserting that the company’s definition of a market comprised of a single brand of a product is neither legally nor factually plausible. Judge Alsup agreed, noting that the definition of an antitrust “relevant market” is typically a factual rather than a legal inquiry, but certain legal principles govern the definition.”
After Eric gave me the idea to have smackdown buttons I just had to run with the idea. Show your support for the show and your favorite host by going over to our SMACKDOWN STORE at Cafe Press.
From 9to5 Mac:
“Google is really stepping up to the plate with their iPhone apps lately. The New York Times is reporting that Google’s updated search app will allow voice-search with results based on location. So things like “where is the nearest Starbucks” can be asked and answers will be given via the Maps application. Amazingly cool if it works as promised. It is hard not to be impressed by Google sometimes. “
Take a look at this video and just try to tell me this isn’t flippin’ cool.
Tonight we answer the call of our wonderful audience and read some listener mail.
Enjoy!

Hello all. Tonight we resurrect the CAGEMATCH format where we pick one topic, then Rachel and Cal get two minutes to declare their side of the argument. Afterward, our guests on the show will evaluate our arguments. Think of it as a high paced, bite sized version of the Smackdown!

The hilarious parody newspaper the Onion (which originated in my hometown of Madison, WI btw) compares the aspects of Snow Leopard and Windows 7 in their own humorous way. Enjoy!
