Submission + - Psystar antitrust claim against Apple dismissed (cnet.com)

DesiVideoGamer writes: Psystar, the company that sell computers that can run Mac OS X, lost a key argument today. Judge Alsup ruled that "The pleadings...fail to allege facts plausibly supporting the counterintuitive claim that Apple's operating system is so unique that it suffers no actual or potential competitors". The (PDF) ruling is a major setback because if Psystar fails to come with with a better argument, they may loose Apple's copyright/trademark lawsuit.

Submission + - NBC Shuns Linux and PPC Macs from Olympic Website (latimes.com)

DesiVideoGamer writes: Good News: NBC decided to put up many videos from the olympics for free on their website. Bad News: They require silverlight; more or less blocking out PowerPC based Macs and all Linux PCs. Microsoft and NBC defended their use by calming that they were trying to provide "the richest online viewing experience based on technologies broadly available today." The LATimes article points out that many people are now resorting to piracy in order to view the highlights of the olympics online.
