Psystar Antitrust Claim Against Apple Dismissed 256
CNet has a report that a federal judge has dismissed Psystar's antitrust suit against Apple. Observers had said that the counter-suit embodied the Mac clone-maker's best chance of prevailing and staying in business. We've been following Psystar and the dueling lawsuits since the beginning.

You see, whether or not you agree or disagree with the legal standing of this EULA, or that EULA... whether or not you have a position on all this stuff, whether or not you agree that the law needs to be codified more properly for modern times, changed to fit the needs of the public... whatever you think there are just simply weaker cases which need to be tested first.
These guys marched straight into the castle stronghold without a hope in hell, and pissed on the kings chips.
We all stood back watching, saying to ourselves... well, this won't go anywhere. This was stupid. These guys are going to get slaughtered.
And lo! It was stupid, it didn't go anywhere, and they just got it handed to them.

Whoa buddy, watch out - that is NOT what the Slashdot community needs to hear, and they will react negatively to your comments with unproven arguments.
I'll start them off:
Apple's Hardware fairly priced??? WHoa, I bought an Apple Mac LC and it cost me $2000 for a LOW END machine. Then I was always doing CMD-. to try to quit a frozen app. And that LC didn't even come with a 5.25 inch floppy drive!!!
I just built a PC with a $32 motherboard and a few other parts I had around the house... and it cost me $32! And that isn't including the mail-in rebate that I just submitted 27 weeks ago.
Plus, you have to be rich to own a Mac, like a BMW owner. And then there is Steve Jobs - I hate his sickly self all dressed in black. Give me Steve Balmer any day!

"What I got to the store and buy Clorox bleach, that bleach is mine and what I do with it is my business."
Actually, it is a violation of federal law to use that bleach in a manner inconsistent with its labelling.
We are watching.
