OS X 10.6.2 reacquires Atom support in latest dev build

By Chris Davies on Thursday, Nov 5th 2009 No Comments

Having heard earlier this week that Apple had blocked Atom processor support in their latest build of OS X 10.6.2, we're now being told that the low-power Intel CPU has once again been welcomed back into the Mac fold.  A newer 10.6.2 build, 10C535, has restored Atom support, meaning owners of netbook-turned-Hackint0sh machines may not be left without the latest software in their DIY Apple ultraportables.

Apple blocking Atom support in OS X 10.6.2

By Chris Davies on Monday, Nov 2nd 2009 No Comments

Apple may be reluctant to launch a netbook – and given their financial success selling mid- to high-end notebooks we can’t really blame them – has spawned a busy community of Hackint0sh creators, many of whom turn to humble Atom-based netbooks such as the MSI Wind for use as donor machines for OS X.  All that might change, however, with the news that Apple have tweaked Mac OS X 10.6.2, their upcoming operating-system update, to prevent installation on Atom-based computers.

SlashGear Week in Review – Week 41 2009

By Shane McGlaun on Saturday, Oct 10th 2009 No Comments

After spending most of Friday curled in a ball twitching and drooling after losing power and Internet access for almost 12 hours, I am glad to be back online and in the 21st century again. Just in time to hunker down and dose myself with a nice helping of week in review for your perusal. Chris reviewed the GSM Palm Pre and found the camera wasn't as good as some of its peers but found plenty to like in the end. The webOS operating system stands apart from rival OS'. Buffalo announced the HD-HU3 USB 3.0 drive and controller that will be shipping in Japan this month. The drive isn’t even that expensive; I hope it comes to America too.

Psystar plans to license its Mac clone tech to other computer makers

By Shane McGlaun on Wednesday, Oct 7th 2009 No Comments

You may recall that somewhat shady company known as Psystar that offered up those Mac clones that led to a lawsuit by Apple. Apple claims that putting the Mac OS X operating system onto computers running hardware it doesn’t build is a violation of the license agreement for the software. Psystar may be in bankruptcy but the company has announced that it plans to license its “secret sauce” that allows machines to run Mac OS X.

Psystar recover from bankruptcy; launch Xeon-based Open(7)

By Chris Davies on Thursday, Jul 2nd 2009 No Comments

Last we heard, Psystar were filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Apple were rubbing their hands together at the prospect of finding out who had been financially backing the Mac-clone company, and everyone else was saying “yep, saw that coming.”  Color us surprised, then, to hear that Psystar have emerged from the bankruptcy and even announced a new, Intel Xeon-based product.

Psystar OS X netbook in development?

By Chris Davies on Thursday, May 7th 2009 2 Comments

Apple have been pretty resolute that we’ll not find a netbook with their logo on it any time soon, but that doesn’t mean budget ultraportables running OS X won’t end up on sale.  Perpetual pain-in-the-Apple-ass Psystar have confirmed that they’re developing a mobile Mac computer, and while details are unknown it’s entirely possible that they’re looking to sell a preconfigured Hackint0sh netbook.

Psystar Open(3) launches: more clone, smaller case

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Mar 18th 2009 No Comments

Just because one of the best-known computer companies in the world is trying to crush you in court, doesn’t mean you should stop pumping out clone computers using their OS.  Psystar has taken a break from accusing Apple of “stretching” copyright law to launch the Psystar Open(3), a compact mini-tower with a range of core 2 Duo or Core 2 Quad processors, optional NVIDIA GeForce 9500GT graphics and, of course, Apple OS X.

Psystar counterclaim approved: will argue Apple ’stretched’ copyright law

By Chris Davies on Monday, Feb 9th 2009 No Comments

gavelThe last we heard of the ongoing Apple/Psystar legal battle, the former had succeeded in having the latter’s initial counterclaim thrown out, while Psystar were accusing Apple of not properly copyrighting OS X in the first place.  It wasn’t looking too hot for the Mac-clone maker; however much to Apple’s presumed chagrin, a federal judge has now ruled that Psystar may continue to push its freshly-amended countersuit and even hinted that, if the company can prove its allegations, other companies may be free to sell non-Apple hardware running OS X.

Psystar accuse Apple of OS X copyright failure

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Dec 23rd 2008 1 Comment

gavelIn the ongoing litigation between Psystar and Apple, the Mac clone manufacturer have claimed Apple failed to file for copyright protection of OS X, and as such are “prohibited from bringing action”.  The argument was submitted last week, as part of Psystar’s defence against Apple’s charge of copyright infringement; it follows Psystar’s counterclaim suit against the company being thrown out of court last month.
