Apple Urges Wired To Remove Hackintosh Video, Article
,----[ Quote ]
| It appears that Apple is not just going after Psystar when it comes to
| running Mac OS X on non-Apple branded computers. Wired's gadget blog was
| running a story, accompanied by a video, demonstrating how to install Mac OS
| X on a non-Apple netbook. After Apple contacted Wired, the website took down
| the video.

Apple copies Microsoft tactics in Itunes row
,----[ Quote ]
| Sam Odio, operator of bluwiki, did what Jobs' Mob demanded only because he
| said he lacked the money to take on the fruit-themed toymaker.
|
| He told AP that, when a lawyer calls you up and implicitly threatens
| litigation that would bankrupt your little project, you obviously have no
| choice but to comply.

Podcaster rejeceted because it duplicates iTunes functionality
,----[ Quote ]
| Today I finally got a reply from Apple about the status of Podcaster.
|
| Apple Rep says: Since Podcaster assists in the distribution of podcasts, it
| duplicates the functionality of the Podcast section of iTunes.
|
| That's right folks, it duplicates the functionality of the desktop version of
| iTunes.

As App Store banning continues, iPhone developers protest
,----[ Quote ]
| Developers have already voiced their concern over Apple’s unwritten rules of
| what can and cannot be sold through the App Store, but the situation has
| become even more dire with this most recent round of rejections. It's
| prompted some, such as Fraser Speirs, developer of iPhone Flickr browser
| Exposure, to say that they’ll cease developing for the platform until Apple
| clarifies the rules.

Apple Takes the "Tris" Out of iPhone Tetris
,----[ Quote ]
| Now a student named Noah Witherspoon that created an iPhone Tetris knock-off
| called simply "Tris," has been threatened with legal action by The Tetris
| Company. In what he refers to as "petty bullying," the company had Apple
| contact Witherspoon and had him pull the game from the iTunes App Store.
| Apple even told him that they'd take action themselves if he didn't comply.

OpenClip, she is dead
,----[ Quote ]
| For those of you who do not remember - or do not care to remember - OpenClip
| was supposed to be an open framework for implementing the Cocoa NSPasteboard
| functionality to the iPhone. While I’m thinking that if Apple wanted to
| implement copy/paste into the iPhone they would have done it already or will
| do it soon, OpenClip was a noble effort to work around the limitations of OS
| X on the iPhone.

How Apple orchestrated web attack on researchers

Apple Bullies Bloggers, Again
,----[ Quote ]
| Apple has a history of using lawyers against bloggers. There was
| the now infamous Think Secret lawsuit, which may have had merit.
| But they also engage in clearly superfluous, bullying tactics as well.
|
| [...]
|
| The offending download page is here (the software has now been
| removed). Blogger Paul O'Brien simply linked to this download
| page and included a screenshot of the user interface and also
| received a cease & desist letter from Apple's lawyers.

Apple Arrogance Unleashed!
,----[ Quote ]
| But the only problem with Apple is that it has no gratitude. Or humility. Or
| generosity. Or manners.
|
| I'm a big fan of Apple products. But there's no escaping the fact that Apple
| has always been, well, arrogant. Which was fine -- their superiority complex
| has always been both partially deserved and one of the company's motivations
| to strive for better things. But in the past few months, the company seems to
| have crossed some kind of invisible line, now brazenly pissing off not just
| competitors, but its most devoted fans, closest partners and industry
| supporters.

Apple failing to understand open source
,----[ Quote ]
| There is a cost for not being a good Open Source citizen and that

Mozilla exec calls Apple's Safari plan 'duopolistic'
,----[ Quote ]
| In the speech predicting how Apple would expand its market share, Jobs showed
| a slide with Safari dominating almost a quarter of the market--a market
| shared only with a single other browser, Internet Explorer.
|
| Lilly says he doesn't believe that this was an omission or simplification,
| but instead an indication that Jobs is hoping to steal people who use Firefox
| and other smaller browsers in order to run a "duopoly" with Redmond.
