All of Psystar’s motions for summary judgment were denied, while all of Apple’s were granted. That means that Apple got exactly what they wanted, while Psystar got exactly what they didn’t want.

Don’t worry, there will be a trial. The court still needs to determine (*deep breath*):

Apple’s allegations of breach of contract; induced breach of contract, trademark infringement; trademark dilution; trade dress infringement; and state unfair competition under California Business and Professions Code § 17200; and common law unfair competition.

Phew! So yeah, at this point it’s looking less like a trial to determine Psystar’s legitimacy, more like a trial to decide how much they owe Apple.

Now, I’m no lawyer, but from where I’m standing this case is looking pretty grim for Psystar. I’ll leave it to you legal types to explain exactly what all this means in the comments, because all I know is that it can’t be good. [Groklaw via 9 to 5 Mac, image via walknboston]

If they start making products people don’t want, and start losing users, then Apple’s strategy will run into problems.

I’m going to have to say that this is the best quote I’ve ever seen. [NYT - Thanks ponies!]

This gentleman is extremely upset about his MacBook Air’s damaged hinge, so what does he do? He stabs it in the face, obviously.

Hope as I may, this video is way, way too dumb to be some kind of viral ad for Lenovo. So, guy, here’s some of that attention you wanted, I guess! [Macenstein]

From Orlando’s WOFL-TV:

When he refused to stop playing his X-box and come down for dinner, Dena Moir says she went upstairs and unplugged the game, that’s when she says Zachary pushed her and called her a bad name…A few minutes later Dena says she was in the kitchen cleaning and cooking tacos for dinner when Zachary showed up. That’s when she says he slapped her arm and threw a taco in her face.

But that story isn’t the half of it. Following his embarrassing arrest, Zachary Moir then proceeded to take the douchiest mugshot ever. [WOFL-TV via Kotaku]

I want to highlight that this is only directed at corporations, companies that are trying to make a profit without the permission of the trademark holder. Legal use will be possible after buying an annual licence from us. It won’t cost that much–tens of thousands of dollars.

The reaction in his home country has been quick. Alexander Manis, director of a broadband provider in Russia, said to NTV: “Imagine the next wise-guy who trademarks the 33 letters of the Russian alphabet and then says anyone who uses the Russian alphabet has to send him money. It’s absurd.”

Indeed. And that’s we are naming Oleg Teterin Moron of the Year 2009. Congratulations Oleg, you can come pick your golden douche bag anytime. [Daily Mail]

“Because this nation has not been serious about vigorously attacking pornography, some believe it is appropriate to view in public. Not only will the flight attendants be placed in a situation that could be considered sexual harassment, passengers who openly view porn where children can see it may be violating federal harmful-to-minor laws.”

Fortunately, most of this nation is not stupid. In “this nation,” and any other nation, individuals know how to behave in public and, if they don’t, they would get their arse kicked by the crew or other passengers. Like in any other area of life. Just like I can watch porn on my iPhone in any public place across the country but I don’t because it’s just wrong, the same will apply here, Mr. David Weiss.

American Airlines says they will not change their policy of unfiltered internet access, because that will jeopardise the access to legitimate web sites, leaving it to flight attendants to handle any possible problem, as it should be. And that’s good. I’ll keep flying them, but not for the porn.

OK, for the porn too. [Sky Talk]

Really dude, I know it must have been annoying to see the wrench you needed behind the Genius Bar, but when they say they can’t let you repair your own stuff at the bar for liability issues, they aren’t just messing with you. They’d lose their jobs.

I know the comic would have been way more boring if you had Googled, ordered the wrench and then made a legit complaint about the non-standard screws on the MacBook, but then again you also wouldn’t have made a spectacle of yourself in public. [The Chemistry Set]
