Law and Order Strike one for Apple. Curling is a better sport anyway - the first end goes to Apple. The Cupertino company sued clone maker PsyStar for licensing and trademark violations and copyright infringement, only to be greeted by a counter lawsuit from PsyStar, who claimed Apple was a monopolist. U.S. District Judge William Alsup sided with Apple on the counter lawsuit Tuesday. In his 16-page decision Tuesday, Alsup ruled Apple's products don't constitute a market to dominate. As a consequence, Apple then can't be considered a monopolist, Alsup wrote. An Apple spokesman had no comment. A representative for Psystar couldn't be reached for comment. The original lawsuit is still running, so PsyStar can, for now, continue selling its clones.

I'm no expert in baseball, but isn't that what it means?

Anyway, could you imagine how terrible Apple would be if they ever got as big as MS?

better designed evil! Shudder!

Well, yes. In their own way, Apple really are a lot like Microsoft, just smaller and with more style.

Apple is fair worse than Microsoft. Microsoft doesn't tie you to only buying their hardware.
