Psystar is officially finished

It’s finally done with Psystar. They can no longer sell, distribute, or help in the process of making Hackintoshes. The shortest possible translation is that Psystar essentially doesn’t exist. They have until December 31th to comply with current terms. But here’s the catch: there wasn’t really any final judgement for the $50 Rebel EFI, which allows the buyer to install Mac OS X on a PC. Although there was one warning by the way:

What is certain, however, is that until such a motion is brought, Psystar will be selling Rebel EFI at its peril, and risks finding itself in contempt if its new venture falls within the scope of the injunction.”

So that settles that — but wait, would Psystar make one final, deadly move? Maybe.

Windows drivers for the Magic Mouse should work like magic

windows-magic-mouse-hack-600

A smart hack extracted the drivers from Boot Camp, which allowed users on Macs that are running Windows to use the Magic Mouse in Windows. That driver has been extracted and is available to all who wish to use the magical Magic Mouse on their Windows PC; which in the end becomes magical. I’ll stop using the “magical” reference now.  Hit Uneasy Silence for the drivers.

Apple’s Black Friday ad leaked, no discount on iPhone

500x_apple-black-friday

According to Boy Genius Report, this is supposed to be Apple’s 2009 Black Friday ad. As you can see, the deals are very, very good. 30% off all iPods, 25% off all Macs, and up to 15% off all Apple software, hardware (strange, right?),  and accessories. But here’s the deal breaker of this deal: No discounts on the iPhone of iPod Shuffle. Still pretty good though, now we have to wait and see if this is even real.

UPDATE: Mac OS X 10.6.2 update out now, Atom support is unknown

500x_by_default_2009-11-09_at_5.12.34_pm

Update you Snow Leopard system to 10.6.2! Unless you have a netbook. The new update fixes the guest user account deletion error, so that problem is probably thrown into the “iDon’t Care” bin. Only other things that have changed are about 40 bug fixes, and the size of the update, which is supposed to be 500mb. As for the Atom support, no one knows about that yet. If you want to take the risk, update, and if you “survive”, comment here about that. The changelog is after the jump. Updated: Several users at BGR are reporting that the update is under 200mb. Confusing. Update 2: Atom support is DEAD on 10.6.2

Latest Snow Leopard Build dosen’t work on Hackintoshes

The latest developer build for Snow Leopard – 10.6.2, once again kills the Atom support for netbooks, so that means if you’re running a Hackintosh, do not update. If you really want to see what happens when you get the latest build – well, the above vid is just for that.

Snow Leopard will officially be released on August 28th, we even have a press release

500x_snowlonew

The Apple Store is back up with a new product. Mac OS X “Snow Leopard” is going to officially ship on August 28th for $29 as an upgrade, that means those of you who have a Mac with Leopard on it get Snow Leopard for 29 bucks.

Here’s the full press release from Apple:

Apple to Ship Mac OS X Snow Leopard on August 28

CUPERTINO, Calif., Aug. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Apple® today announced that Mac OS® X v10.6 Snow Leopard(TM) will go on sale Friday, August 28 at Apple’s retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers, and that Apple’s online store is now accepting pre-orders. Snow Leopard builds on a decade of OS X innovation and success with hundreds of refinements, new core technologies and out of the box support for Microsoft Exchange. Snow Leopard will be available as an upgrade for Mac OS X Leopard® users for $29.

“Snow Leopard builds on our most successful operating system ever and we’re happy to get it to users earlier than expected,” said Bertrand Serlet, Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering. “For just $29, Leopard users get a smooth upgrade to the world’s most advanced operating system and the only system with built in Exchange support.”

To create Snow Leopard, Apple engineers refined 90 percent of the more than 1,000 projects that make up Mac OS X. Users will notice refinements including a more responsive Finder(TM); Mail that loads messages up to twice as fast;* Time Machine® with an up to 80 percent faster initial backup;* a Dock with Expose® integration; QuickTime® X with a redesigned player that allows users to easily view, record, trim and share video; and a 64-bit version of Safari® 4 that is up to 50 percent** faster and resistant to crashes caused by plug-ins. Snow Leopard is half the size of the previous version and frees up to 7GB of drive space once installed.

For the first time, system applications including Finder, Mail, iCal®, iChat® and Safari are 64-bit and Snow Leopard’s support for 64-bit processors makes use of large amounts of RAM, increases performance and improves security while remaining compatible with 32-bit applications. Grand Central Dispatch (GCD) provides a revolutionary new way for software developers to write applications that take advantage of multicore processors. OpenCL, a C-based open standard, allows developers to tap the incredible power of the graphics processing unit for tasks that go beyond graphics.

Snow Leopard is the only desktop operating system with built in support for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, and it allows you to use Mac OS X Mail, Address Book and iCal to send and receive email, create and respond to meeting invitations, and search and manage contacts with global address lists. Exchange information works seamlessly within Snow Leopard so users can also take advantage of OS X only features such as fast Spotlight® searches and Quick Look previews.

Mac OS X Server Snow Leopard, the next major release of the world’s easiest to use server operating system, will also go on sale Friday, August 28. Snow Leopard Server includes innovative new features such as Podcast Producer 2 and Mobile Access Server and is priced more affordably than ever at $499 with unlimited client licenses. More information and full system requirements for Snow Leopard Server can be found at www.apple.com/server/macosx/.

Pricing & Availability

Mac OS X version 10.6 Snow Leopard will be available as an upgrade to Mac OS X version 10.5 Leopard on August 28 at Apple’s retail stores and through Apple Authorized Resellers, and online pre-orders can be made through Apple’s online store (www.apple.com) starting today. The Snow Leopard single user license will be available for a suggested retail price of $29 (US) and the Snow Leopard Family Pack, a single household, five-user license, will be available for a suggested price of $49 (US). For Tiger® users with an Intel-based Mac®, the Mac Box Set includes Mac OS X Snow Leopard, iLife® ’09 and iWork® ’09 and will be available for a suggested price of $169 (US) and a Family Pack is available for a suggested price of $229 (US).

The Mac OS X Snow Leopard Up-to-Date upgrade package is available to all customers who purchased a qualifying new Mac system from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller between June 8, 2009 and the end of the program on December 26, 2009, for a product plus shipping and handling fee of $9.95 (US). Users must request their Up-to-Date upgrade within 90 days of purchase or by December 26, 2009, whichever comes first. For more information please visit www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate.
