		<title>Apple Vs. Psystar ( Apple Won )</title>
		<link>http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=845716</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>Quote - </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Copyright misuse. After Psystar's antitrust and monopoly arguments were thrown out, it tried to argue that Apple was misusing its copyright on OS X by limiting it to Apple hardware. It was an interesting and ballsy argument, and the court didn't buy it for a second: "Apple has not prohibited others from independently developing and using their own operating systems. Thus, Apple did not violate the public policy underlying copyright law or engage in copyright misuse." Put another way, as long as Apple doesn't try to prevent OS X owners from buying Windows PCs, it can sell OS X however it wants.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/14/apple-wins-copyright-infringement-case-against-psystar-in-califo/#continued" target="_blank">Source @ Engadget</a><br />]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[27" iMac Quad Core]]></title>
		<link>http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=845376</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Hey guys,<br /><br />I haven't seen much (if any at all actually...) talk about the new iMacs, so I wanted to get the ball rolling.<br /><br />Who's getting one?<br />Who wants one?<br />Who already has one?<br />Is the $200 price difference between the i5 and i7 worth it?<br />What do you think about it over all?<br /><br />Personally, I can't wait to get one and have been tracking their avalability with a rather unhealthy obsession  <img src="http://www.neowin.net/forum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":laugh:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> This will be my first Mac (been a PC-guy for years) so I'm really pumped to pick one up.<br />I didn't pre-order one back in 10/20 since I rather not skip out on work just to sign for a package - so that means I'm waiting until they hit retail stores.<br /><br />Reports of pre-orders being delivered are flying around the web (as well as unboxings and benchmarks), but resellers and Apple retail stores alike seem to not be part of this shipping action :-(  has anyone heard when they may be in stores?<br /><br />Oh well, more waiting I guess.<br /><br />Just wanted to see what fellow Neowinians felt.<br />]]></description>

		<title>Just doing my Job— Caught in the Crossfire of Mac vs PC war</title>
		<link>http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=844914</link>
		<description>At my last job, I was supporting Apples for a small college.   I was the token the Mac guy.  I started working with an Art professor to bring photoshop and Macs into one of five computer labs. The professor wanted to go more digital in his art program. The IT hardware manager and this professor started fighting—neither seemed to listen to other. I did not like being in the crossfire.  Has anybody else seen this?</description>

		<title>Just got my first Mac</title>
		<link>http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=843328</link>
		<description><![CDATA[So I just got my first Mac. It is a 15.4" MacBook Pro. 3.06Ghz CPU, 4GB RAM and 500GB 7200RPM HDD. <br /><br />Build wise the machine is lovely but for some reason I have not fallen in love with it like I was kind of hoping I would <img src="http://www.neowin.net/forum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /><br /><br />I don't know if it is just that I prefer how Windows does some things or not but it just feels more slugish than Windows 7 does and not quite as intuitive or smooth to use. Now I don't think Windows 7 is perfect either, in fact I hate how it combines the taskbar items so I have it set to the old Vista way of doing things. <br /><br />Part of me just feels a little home sick in OS X land. I miss some of the things I love about Windows. Like I can't find an mp3 tag editor anywhere near as good as mp3tag, not even a non-free one. And something as simple as unzipping 100 zip files into one directory rather than 100 directories of the same name as the archive is a mission. Not as simple as just using WinRAR to select the file I want, hell I can't even fine a tool that will let me browse a zip or rar file, only extract it. <br /><br />Some things are great but on the whole I really don't know if I am going to be able to keep it, I want to love it. I just don't feel I can. Windows 7 does everything OS X can do and, and I don't want to start a war here so please don't start one, it does it better in a lot of ways. Sure OS X has a solid base but I have had about a dozen lock ups on OS X due to crappy PrefPane's such as MediaLink and Perian which has halted the whole machine for a few minute while I force quit it. <br /><br />I am feel kinda deflated now to be honest, I really was hoping I would fall head over heals in love with the platform like I did with my iPhone but i'm not :'(]]></description>
