Apple Moves To Shut Down Psystar's Mac Cloning
11/25/2009 08:49:00 AM
Apple has been silent since U.S. District Court Judge William Alsup ruled in favor of Apple in a copyright suit against Psystar. In his Nov. 13 ruling, Alsup also ruled that Psystar violated the Digital Millennium Copyright Act by installing Apple's Mac OS X on the cloned computers it sold.
Alsup's order granted Apple's motion for a summary judgment and nullified a similar motion from Psystar, and marked a major defeat for the cloner. But Apple is seeking to drive the final nail into Psystar's infringement coffin.
On Monday, Apple filed a motion requesting Alsup to grant a permanent injunction. If granted, the injunction will force Psystar to stop selling computer bundled with Apple's Mac OS X.
The permanent injunction would also ban Psystar from using, selling or owning software that makes it possible to crack Apple's OS encryption key, which would let it run Mac OS X on Psystar's hardware. Finally, the injunction would ban Psystar from "inducing, aiding or inducing others in infringing Apple's copyright."
Apple insists a permanent injunction is its only option in the face of Psystar's continued copyright violations. "Psystar has announced its intention to continue infringing (and to contribute to the infringement of) Apple's copyrights in, and circumventing the technology protection measures in, the current upgrade of Mac OS X, version 10.6," Apple said.
But Apple isn't content with a permanent injunction against Psystar. The Mac maker is also seeking $2.1 million in damages. Psystar isn't expected to be in a financial position to pay the damages, but Apple is making a point.
"Psystar's whole business...

Tesco to have iPhones by Christmas
11/25/2009 08:02:00 AM
The supermarket has not revealed its prices but a promise to bring 'value' to the mobile phone market could see customers offered a better deal than with current suppliers O2 and Orange
Tesco plans to have the iPhone in stores in time for Christmas and promised to bring a bit of "value" to the mobile phone market. Although the supermarket group declined today to say exactly what it would charge, its value promise raises the prospect of consumers being offered a better deal than with current suppliers O2 and Orange.
Britain's biggest retailer, which already has 2m mobile phone customers, will be selling the Apple device through its network of 100 in-store phone shops and on its website. It will be selling the iPhone 3G and the iPhone 3GS to both pay-as-you-go customers and people willing to take out a long-term contract.
A spokeswoman for Tesco said: "We really want to bring a bit of Tesco value to the iPhone. We are not just going to copy what's already out there."
Earlier this month, Orange started selling the iPhone, ending O2's two-year long exclusive grip on the handset, but its pricing is barely distinguishable from the tariffs already on offer, with both networks pricing the basic phone from £34 a month over two years.
In contrast, Tesco currently has a Sim-only contract which offers customers unlimited calls, texts and mobile internet browsing for £30 a month. A spokeswoman for Tesco, which takes one in every seven pounds spent on the British high street, refused to say whether this would be the basis for its iPhone tariff.
Vodafone, meanwhile, will not be able to start selling the iPhone to its customers until the second week of January. The smallest of the UK's five networks, 3, is also hoping to start selling the iPhone some time next year.
O2 sells the basic iPhone 3G â€" which has 8GB of memory and a 2 megapixel camera â€" starting at £34.26 a month for two years. The price includes 600 minutes of call time and 500 texts.
The 16GB version of the iPhone 3GS â€" which has a 3 megapixel camera and a faster processor â€" is free on O2 at £44.05 a month for two years, with 1,200 minutes and 500 texts, and the largest 32GB version is free at £73.41 a month for two years with 3,000 minutes and 500 texts.
Orange, in contrast, offers the basic 3G phone for free under a two-year contract at £29.36 a month, but that comes with just 150 minutes and 250 texts. On the same tariff plan as O2 â€" 600 minutes and 500 texts â€" the 3G phone is free at £34.26 a month over two years.
On a comparable call plan, therefore, there is no difference between the price of the iPhone 3G on Orange and O2.
Orange makes the 16GB version of the iPhone 3GS free at £44.04 a month for two years. That includes 1,200 minutes and 500 texts, exactly the same call plan as O2. So the difference in price between O2 and Orange on the 16GB version of the iPhone 3GS is a mere 24p over two years.
