. . . and now are also selling a bootloader CD. . .

Which is also in violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of which this ruling found them in multiple violation. AND it is inducement to breach of contract which is still scheduled for trial in California. . .

Apple has a real racket going on there where it always seem to get its Psystar trials venue in California even though the alleged crime takes place in Florida. Apple would lose in a Florida court. Corrupt California judges have every incentive to rule for Apple there because the Digital Millennium Copyright Act also is utilized in California courts by the scummy lawyers at RIAA and Hollywood. California benefits from the Digital Millennium Copyright Act more than any other state since it is center of the world's "entertainment industry". It's interesting that our traditional industries such as steel and automobile making never got one ounce of protection from foreign competition but Microsoft/Apple/Hollywood were able to get corrupt bribed (canpiagn donations) Democrat Congressmen to pass such legislation anti competition legislation

Steel and autos are real industries producing real useful items while Hollywood just churns out fantasies that get darker and more ridiculous every year. Plus lets face facts that the computers Apple sells are primarily entertainment machines for music, video and screwing around on the internet. Dittos for the iPod. 
Microsoft's software is used for the same entertainment factors ......facebook, you tube etc. At least MS makes business software to redeem itself

Apple software like Logic, Aperture and Final Cut Pro may be for music and video, but they are for professional content producers, the business of music and video. Then there's iWork (like Office), Final Cut Server (for multiple editors using Final Cut), XSan (business oriented SAN solution) and Remote Desktop (network remote access and management). And add all the business-oriented stuff in OS X Server. Aside from that, there are plenty of business applications for the Mac from third parties, and Apple gets to inherit many UNIX business applications.

What an assumption. This is a FEDERAL COURT CASE, DennisW... not a California Court Case. Apple is entitled to bring the case in the circuit in which it and Psystar does business... and Psystar was selling computers in California. Other than that... your Apple derangement syndrome is one of the worst cases I have ever seen, Dennis.
